Runaway O and Be Stars Found Using Gaia DR3, New Stellar Bow Shocks and Search for Binaries
Bulletin de la Société Royale des Sciences de LiègeA relevant fraction of massive stars are runaways, moving with a significant peculiar velocity with respect to their environment. Kicks from supernova explosions or the dynamical ejection of stars from clusters can account for the runaway genesis. We have used Gaia DR3 data to study the velocity distribution of massive O and Be stars from the GOSC and ...

Thermal emission from bow shocks
Astronomy and AstrophysicsContext. X-ray emission from wind-driven bow shocks is both difficult to measure and predict, but may give important insights into the energy budget of the hot phase of the interstellar medium (ISM) by quantifying mixing at the interface between hot and warm gas phases. Aims.

Interstellar Bow Shocks around Fast Stars Passing through the Local Interstellar Medium
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Bow shocks are produced in the local interstellar medium by the passage of fast stars from the Galactic thin-disk and thick-disk populations with velocities V _* = 40–80 km s ^−1 .

High-sensitivity radio study of the non-thermal stellar bow shock EB27 [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 ABSTRACT We present a deep radio-polarimetric observation of the stellar bow shock EB27 associated with the massive star BD+43○3654. This is the only stellar bow shock confirmed to have non-thermal radio emission. We used the Jansky Very Large Array in S band (2–4 GHz) to test whether this synchrotron emission is polarized.

Extended red objects and stellar-wind bow shocks in the Carina Nebula [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2014 We report the results of infrared photometry on 39 extended red objects (EROs) in the Carina Nebula, observed with the Spitzer Space Telescope. Most EROs are identified by bright, extended 8.0 um emission, which ranges from 10'' to 40'' in size, but our sample also includes 4 EROs identified by extended 24 um emission.

X3: A High-mass Young Stellar Object Close to the Supermassive Black Hole Sgr A*
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 To date, the proposed observation of young stellar objects (YSOs) in the Galactic center still raises the question of where and how these objects could have formed due to the violent vicinity of Sgr A*.

Polarization simulations of stellar wind bow shock nebulae – II. The case of dust scattering [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 ABSTRACT We study the polarization produced by scattering from dust in a bow shock-shaped region of enhanced density surrounding a stellar source, using the Monte Carlo radiative transfer code SLIP. Bow shocks are structures formed by the interaction of the winds of fast-moving stars with the interstellar medium.
