Modelling colliding wind binaries in 2D
Tom Hendrix, Rony Keppens · publish.UP (University of Potsdam) · 2015
We look at how the dynamics of colliding wind binaries (CWB) can be investigated in 2D, and how several parameters influence the dynamics of the small scale structures inside the colliding wind and the shocked regions, as well as in how the dynamics influence the shape of the collision region at large distances. The parameters we adopt are based on the binary system WR98a, one of the few Wolf-Rayet (WR) dusty pinwheels known.
