Mass loss in main-sequence B stars

J Krtička - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2014 - aanda.org
We calculate radiatively driven wind models of main-sequence B stars and provide the wind
mass-loss rates and terminal velocities. The main-sequence mass-loss rate strongly …

LM Oskinova, H Todt, R Ignace… - Monthly Notices of …, 2011 - academic.oup.com
We present a comprehensive study of X-ray emission by, and wind properties of, massive
magnetic early B-type stars. Dedicated XMM–Newton observations were obtained for three …

Mass-loss and diffusion in subdwarf B stars and hot white dwarfs: do weak winds exist?

K Unglaub - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2008 - aanda.org
Context. According to previous investigations, the effect of diffusion in the stellar
atmospheres and envelopes of hot white dwarfs and subdwarf B (sdB) stars strongly …

Stellar wind models of subluminous hot stars

J Krtička, J Kubát, I Krtičková - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2016 - aanda.org
Context. Mass-loss rate is one of the most important stellar parameters. Mass loss via stellar
winds may influence stellar evolution and modifies stellar spectrum. Stellar winds of …

HST/STIS analysis of the first main sequence pulsar CU Virginis

J Krtička, Z Mikulášek, GW Henry, J Janík… - Astronomy & …, 2019 - aanda.org
Context. CU Vir has been the first main sequence star that showed regular radio pulses that
persist for decades, resembling the radio lighthouse of pulsars and interpreted as auroral …

Stellar wind models of central stars of planetary nebulae

J Krtička, J Kubát, I Krtičková - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 - aanda.org
Context. Fast line-driven stellar winds play an important role in the evolution of planetary
nebulae, even though they are relatively weak. Aims. We provide global (unified) hot star …

A pulsational mechanism for producing Keplerian disks around Be stars

SR Cranmer - The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
Classical Be stars are an enigmatic subclass of rapidly rotating hot stars characterized by
dense equatorial disks of gas that have been inferred to orbit with Keplerian velocities …

Time-dependent spectral-feature variations of stars displaying the B [e] phenomenon-III. HD 50138

T Jeřábková, D Korčáková, A Miroshnichenko… - Astronomy & …, 2016 - aanda.org
Context. B [e] stars are anomalous objects around which extended circumstellar matter is
present. The observed properties of the central star are significantly affected by the …

CNO-driven winds of hot first stars

J Krtička, J Kubat - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2009 - aanda.org
During the evolution of first stars, the CNO elements may emerge on their surfaces due to
the mixing processes. Consequently, these stars may have winds driven purely by CNO …

Time-dependent spectral-feature variations of stars displaying the B [e] phenomenon-I. V2028 Cygni

J Polster, D Korčáková, V Votruba, P Škoda… - Astronomy & …, 2012 - aanda.org
We present results of nearly six years of spectroscopic observations of the B [e] star V2028
Cyg. The presence of the cold-type absorption lines combined with a hot-type spectrum …
