abstract = {Since the detection of nonthermal radio emission from the
bow shock of the massive runaway star BD +43°3654, simple
models have predicted high-energy emission, at X-rays and
gamma-rays, from these Galactic sources. Observational
searches for this emission so far give no conclusive
evidence but a few candidates at gamma-rays. In this work we
aim at developing a more sophisticated model for the
nonthermal emission from massive runaway star bow shocks.
The main goal is to establish whether these systems are
efficient nonthermal emitters, even if they are not strong
enough yet to be detected. For modeling the collision
between the stellar wind and the interstellar medium we use
2D hydrodynamic simulations. We then adopt the flow profile
of the wind and the ambient medium obtained with the
simulation as the plasma state for solving the transport of
energetic particles injected in the system, as well as the
nonthermal emission they produce. For this purpose we solve
a 3D (two spatial + energy) advection-diffusion equation in
the test-particle approximation. We find that a massive
runaway star with a powerful wind converts $0.16\%–0.4\%$
of the power injected in electrons into nonthermal emission,
mostly produced by inverse Compton scattering of
dust-emitted photons by relativistic electrons, and second
by synchrotron radiation. This represents a fraction of
~10$^{−5}$ to 10$^{−4}$ of the wind kinetic power. Given
the better sensibility of current instruments at radio
wavelengths, these systems are more prone to be detected at
radio through the synchrotron emission they produce rather
than at gamma energies.},
