Chandra Proposal Id #03200743

Scientific paper

We will use HETG spectra of the very luminous star Cyg OB2 8a to investigate the effects of higher speeds and denser winds on resolved X-ray line profiles. Higher ion stages and a greater attenuation of line emission from the far side of the star are expected. These observations could explain the anomalous broadening of X-ray emission lines in Chandra spectra of other O-stars. We can simultaneously obtain another HETG spectrum and several ACIS spectra of other early-type stars in the association.
