X-ray Diagnostics and Their Relationship to Magnetic Fields David Cohen Swarthmore College

XMM-Newton Chandra Launched 2000: superior sensitivity, spatial resolution, and spectral resolution sub-arcsecond resolution

XMM-Newton Chandra Both have CCD detectors for imaging spectroscopy (at low spectral resolution: R~20 to 50) And – with lower sensitivity – both have grating spectrometers with resolutions of a few 100 to ~1000

Hot plasma emitting thermal x-rays 1 keV ~ 12 × 10 6 K ~ 12 Å ROSAT 150 eV to 2 keV Chandra, XMM 500 eV to 10 keV Shock heating:  v = 300 km gives T ~ 10 6 K (and T ~ v 2 )

Helium-like species’ forbidden-to-intercombination line ratios – f/i or z/(x+y) – provide information about the location of the hot plasma …not the density, as is usually the case.

R fir =1.2 R * R fir =4.0 R * R fir =2.1 R *

He-like f/i ratios and the x-ray light curve both indicate that the hot plasma is somewhat closer to the photosphere of  1 Ori C than the MHD models predict.

Conclusions Normal massive stars have x-ray line profiles consistent with the predictions of the wind instability model. Photoelectric absorption’s effect on the profile shapes can be used as a mass-loss rate diagnostic: mass- loss rates are lower than previously thought. Later-type massive stars have X-rays that are harder to understand, though…
