Revealing the Accelerating Wind in the Inner Region of Colliding-wind Binary WR 112

Colliding winds in massive binaries generate X-ray-bright shocks, synchrotron radio emission, and sometimes even dusty “pinwheel” spirals. We report the first X-ray detections of the dusty WC+O binary system WR 112 from Chandra and Swift, alongside 27 yr of Very Large Array/Australia Telescope Compa...
