SUMMARY:Stellar-wind-fed magnetospheres of magnetic massive stars
DESCRIPTION:Recording: https://www.oact.inaf.it/seminars/ \nDATE:  Monday\, October 21\, 11:30 a.m. \nORGANIZER: INAF-OACT \nLOCATION: AULA OVEST (INAF-OACT) + remote \nLink for the remote audience:https://meet.google.com/wvf-uwxo-oyj \nSPEAKER: Prof. Stanley Owocki (University of Delaware) \nABSTRACT:A subpopulation (~9%) of hot (OB) stars exhibit strong (B~100-10\,000 G)\, large-scale (often predominantly dipolar) magnetic fields that channel their stellar wind outflows into circumstellar magnetospheres. For young\, rapidly rotating B-stars that have not yet been spun down by wind-magnetic braking\, wind material can be trapped between the Kepler co-rotation radius (RK) and the Alfven radius (RA)\, forming then a “Centrifugal Magnetosphere” (CM)\, with density set at the critical level for “Centrifugal Breakout” (CBO) against the confining magnetic tension. This talk discusses how such CBO controls both the onset and strength of observed H-alpha emission\, while the energetics of the associated CBO-driven magnetic reconnection match well the observed scalings of a non-thermal\, circularly polarized radio emission from such stars . \n  \nA few rules:— in case of large in-person attendance\, attendees may be asked to wear a face mask— before joining\, make sure you are using your institutional inaf.it account if you have one (otherwise we will grant you permission to join)— please do not forget to mute your microphone and switch off your webcam when access the virtual room— for questions leave a message in the chat\, the answers at the end of the webinar— the seminar will be recorded\, so if you are interested in it\, please contact us to get the link to the registration.
