Simulating Chemical Abundances in the Circumstellar Nebula of the Late Stage Binary RY Scuti

Simulating Chemical Abundances in the Circumstellar Nebula of the Late Stage Binary RY Scuti

RY Scuti, thought to be a Wolf–Rayet (WR) progenitor, is a massive post-main-sequence binary star system undergoing Roche-lobe overflow (RLOF). SOFIA (+FORCAST) spectroscopy of the inner, ionized region of RY Scuti’s double ringed toroidal nebula affirms the previous detection of the well-studied 12...
