We investigate the possibility that a stagnation-point magnetic reconnection model may account for the particle acceleration necessary for the generation of nonthermal radio emission in the Wolf-Rayet binary systems exemplified by WR140.

The Very Large Array has been used to detect nonthermal radio emission from nearby stars of late spectral type F, G, K, and M, and has provided unique high-resolution investigations of the Sun's radio emission.

ABSTRACT The non-thermal radio emission of main-sequence early-type stars is a signature of stellar magnetism. We present multiwavelength (1.6–16.7 GHz) ATCA measurements of the early-type magnetic star ρ OphC, which is a flat-spectrum non-thermal radio source. The ρ OphC radio emission is partially circularly polarized with a steep spectral dependence: the fraction of polarized emission is about $60{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ at the lowest frequency sub-band (1.6 GHz) while is undetected at 16.7 GHz. This is clear evidence of coherent Auroral Radio Emission (ARE) from the ρ OphC magnetosphere. Interestingly, the detection of the ρ OphC’s ARE is not related to a peculiar rotational phase. This is a consequence of the stellar geometry, which makes the strongly anisotropic radiation beam of the amplified radiation always pointed towards Earth. The circular polarization sign evidences mainly amplification of the ordinary mode of the electromagnetic wave, consistent with a maser amplification occurring within dense regions. This is indirect evidence of the plasma evaporation from the polar caps, a phenomenon responsible for the thermal X-ray aurorae. ρ OphC is not the first early-type magnetic star showing the O-mode dominated ARE but is the first star with the ARE always on view.

AbstractConventional wisdom holds that early-type and late-type stars have very different outer atmospheres, because the early-type stars lack deep convective zones. I argue that the magnetic chemically peculiar (CP) stars hotter than about spectral type A2 display many of the activity phenomena seen in the most active late-type stars. In particular, many CP stars are luminous nonthermal radio and coronal x-ray sources like the RS CVn systems. A wind-fed magnetosphere model has been proposed to explain both the nonthermal radio and the x-ray emission. In this model the stellar wind plays the role of a mechanical energy source analogous to the role played by convection in the active late-type stars.

The radial distributions of the surface brightness or column density of thermal and nonthermal radio emission, far-infrared (FIR) emission, blue light, HI and CO in the Sc galaxies M33 and M51 are compared with the corresponding distributions in the Galaxy. Information on the variation of the absorption at Hα and on the variation of the abundance ratio O/H is also shown.
