Toward a unification of star formation rate determinations in the Milky Way and other galaxies

L Chomiuk, MS Povich - The Astronomical Journal, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
The star formation rate (SFR) of the Milky Way remains poorly known, with often-quoted
values ranging from 1 to 10 M☉ yr− 1. This situation persists despite the potential for the …

A magnetic confinement versus rotation classification of massive-star magnetospheres

V Petit, SP Owocki, GA Wade, DH Cohen… - Monthly Notices of …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
Building on results from the Magnetism in Massive Stars (MiMeS) project, this paper shows
how a two-parameter classification of massive-star magnetospheres in terms of the magnetic …

Magnetic spots on hot massive stars

M Cantiello, J Braithwaite - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2011 - aanda.org
Context. Hot luminous stars show a variety of phenomena in their photospheres and winds
which still lack clear physical explanation. Among these phenomena are photospheric …

Catalogue of particle-accelerating colliding-wind binaries

M De Becker, F Raucq - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2013 - aanda.org
Massive systems made of two or more stars are known to be the site for interesting physical
processes–including at least in some cases–particle acceleration. Over the past decade, this …

X-ray emission from magnetic massive stars

Y Nazé, V Petit, M Rinbrand, D Cohen… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
Magnetically confined winds of early-type stars are expected to be sources of bright and
hard X-rays. To clarify the systematics of the observed X-ray properties, we have analyzed a …

Multiwavelength monitoring and X-ray brightening of Be X-ray binary PSR J2032+ 4127/MT91 213 on its approach to periastron

WCG Ho, CY Ng, AG Lyne, BW Stappers… - Monthly Notices of …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
The radio and gamma-ray pulsar PSR J2032+ 4127 was recently found to be in a decades-
long orbit with the Be star MT91 213, with the pulsar moving rapidly towards periastron. This …

An introduction to the chandra carina complex project

LK Townsley, PS Broos, MF Corcoran… - The Astrophysical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
ABSTRACT The Great Nebula in Carina provides an exceptional view into the violent
massive star formation and feedback that typifies giant H ii regions and starburst galaxies …

Global X-ray properties of the O and B stars in Carina

Y Nazé, PS Broos, L Oskinova… - The Astrophysical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
The key empirical property of the X-ray emission from O stars is a strong correlation between
the bolometric and X-ray luminosities. In the framework of the Chandra Carina Complex …

A multiwavelength look at Galactic massive star-forming regions

BA Binder, MS Povich - The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a multiwavelength study of 28 Galactic massive star-forming H ii regions. For 17
of these regions, we present new distance measurements based on Gaia DR2 parallaxes …
