Massive binary star systems are not uncommon, and neither the supersonic collision of their winds. In the present work we study these shocks and the further consequences on wind structure. The post-shock gas is a warm and high-density…
Large-scale dipolar surface magnetic fields have been detected in a fraction of OB stars, however only few stellar evolution models of massive stars have considered the impact of these fossil fields. We are performing 1D hydrodynamical…
