Moving from 2D to quasi-3D
The old, 2D simulation (temperature).
The new, quasi-3D simulations (temperature; 6 ≤ log(T) (K) ≤ 8)
Line-of-sight velocity (temperature; 6 ≤ log(T) (K) ≤ 8)
X-rays
EM(φ) plot for the above simulation. X-ray only.
Another X-ray plot:
An X-ray plot, but with the temperature only between log(T)=6 and log(T)=7 (it's from the same simulation as the top light curve):
Same as above, only 7 ≤ log(T) ≤ 8:
Thermal broadening
An example of thermal broadening, using the mass of iron.
The same as above, but using the mass of oxygen.
Thermal broadening
Grid for β Cep
Hα
EM(φ) plot for the above simulation. Hα only.
Another Hα plot:
Yet one more Hα plot:
Thermal broadening
Here's an overlapping image of two H-alpha line profiles of the same timestep, one with thermal broadening (red) and one without (black).
