CANTO, J.; RAGA, A. C.  e  GONZALEZ, R. F.. The emission from photoionized stellar wind bow shocks. Rev. mex. astron. astrofis [online]. 2005, vol.41, n.1, pp.101-108. ISSN 0185-1101.

Photoionized stellar wind bow shocks are found in a number of different astrophysical objects : compact H II regions, H II regions around runaway O stars and bow shocks around young, low mass stars within photoionized regions. We present a formulation for calculating the emission measure from analytic, thin shell stellar wind bow shock models, with which simple predictions of the recombination line or the free-free emission can be made. We illustrate the predictions that can be made by calculating the emission maps that result from a model of a non-axisymmetric stellar wind bow shock.
