Runaway Stars: Ob Stars, Stellar Winds: Ob Stars

Scientific paper

OB runaways are massive (OB) stars that travel through interstellar space with anomalously high velocities. How did these massive stars obtain such a high velocity? Recent observations carried out at the European Southern Observatory have provided compelling evidence that, at least in one case, the supernova explosion of a massive binary companion is responsible for the large space velocity gained by the remaining OB star. The observational evidence is based on the discovery of a wind bow shock around the high-mass X-ray binary Vel X-1, an X-ray pulsar with a B-supergiant companion. Here the authors report on new high-resolution coronographic observations of the bow shock obtained wind ESO's New Technology Telescope.
