| Abstract | We present initial calculations of the spatial distribution of the radio emission from a WR+OB colliding wind binary (CWB) system based on high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations and solutions to the radiative transfer equation. We account for both thermal and synchrotron radio emission assuming equipartition between the magnetic and relativisitic particle energy densities, and that the latter is a simple fraction of the thermal particle energy density. We present preliminary attempts to model the radio continuum of the very wide system WR 147, and present some thoughts on modeling the radio light curve of the archetype CWB, WR 140. |
