Synthetic observations are playing an increasingly important role across astrophysics, both
for interpreting real observations and also for making meaningful predictions from models. In …

On the role of massive stars in the support and destruction of giant molecular clouds

CD Matzner - The Astrophysical Journal, 2002 - iopscience.iop.org
We argue that massive stars are the dominant sources of energy for the turbulent motions
within giant molecular clouds and that the primary agent of feedback is the expansion of H II …

Models of the circumstellar medium of evolving, massive runaway stars moving through the Galactic plane

DMA Meyer, J Mackey, N Langer… - Monthly Notices of …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
At least 5 per cent of the massive stars are moving supersonically through the interstellar
medium (ISM) and are expected to produce a stellar wind bow shock. We explore how the …

ABSTRA (C" T This paper describes a new, 3D adaptive grid code which solves the gasdy-
namic equations together with a system of rate equations for atomic/ionic and nnolecular …

Hydrodynamics of cometary compact H II regions

SJ Arthur, MG Hoare - The Astrophysical Journal Supplement …, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
We present numerical radiation-hydrodynamic simulations of cometary H II regions for a
number of champagne flow and bow shock models. For the champagne flow models we …

Wind bubbles within H ii regions around slowly moving stars

J Mackey, VV Gvaramadze, S Mohamed… - Astronomy & …, 2015 - aanda.org
Interstellar bubbles around O stars are driven by a combination of the star's wind and
ionizing radiation output. The wind contribution is uncertain because the boundary between …

Monitoring the large proper motions of radio sources in the Orion BN/KL region

L Gómez, LF Rodríguez, L Loinard… - The Astrophysical …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We present absolute astrometry of four radio sources in the Becklin-Neugebauer/Kleinman-
Low (BN/KL) region, derived from archival data (taken in 1991, 1995, and 2000) as well as …

Search for OB stars running away from young star clusters-I. NGC 6611

VV Gvaramadze, DJ Bomans - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2008 - aanda.org
N-body simulations have shown that the dynamical decay of the young (~ 1 Myr) Orion
Nebula cluster could be responsible for the loss of at least half of its initial content of OB …

Nonthermal emission from stellar bow shocks

MV del Valle, M Pohl - The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Since the detection of nonthermal radio emission from the bow shock of the massive
runaway star BD+ 43 3654, simple models have predicted high-energy emission, at X-rays …

Bow shock nebulae of hot massive stars in a magnetized medium

DMA Meyer, A Mignone, R Kuiper… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
A significant fraction of OB-type, main-sequence massive stars are classified as runaway
and move supersonically through the interstellar medium (ISM). Their strong stellar winds …
