Chandra Observations of Zeta Pup : Probing for Rotational Modulation of the X-Ray Flux and Hardness in a Supergiant O Star
(2019-05)Hot stars such as Zeta Pup are strong X-ray emitters but the precise mechanism causing their X-ray emission is unclear. In this project we examine the temporal behavior of the X-ray emission from this star. If the X-rays ... -
Determining the Radial Location of the X-ray Emitting Zone of Spica
(2010-04)Although it is well known that O and B type stars are X-ray emitters, the machanism driving this process is not entirely understood. Knowing the radial location of the X-ray emission is key to understanding which models ... -

Examining X-ray Sources in Trumpler 14 and 16
(2010-04)We have obtained X-ray data from the orbiting Chandra X-ray observatory in order to investigate the hot stars in the star clusters Trumpler 14 and 16. Our data set contains a number of CCD images centered on two stars in ...
