Mass loss from inhomogeneous hot star winds I. Resonance line formation in 2D models
Context. The mass-loss rate is a key parameter of hot, massive stars. Small-scale inhomogeneities (clumping) in the winds of these stars are conventionally included in spectral analyses by assuming optically thin clumps, a void inter-clump medium, and a smooth velocity field. To reconcile investigations of different diagnostics (in particular, unsaturated UV resonance lines vs. Hα/radio emissio...
متن کاملSpectral Modeling of X-rays from Hot Star Winds
We attempt to determine the mass-loss rates of several O stars using x-ray spectra from Chandra’s archive. Models of x-ray production in hot star winds predict broad, asymmetric emission lines, but observed lines tend to be much more symmetric. Such symmetry can be explained by either lowering the values of the mass-loss rate for these winds, or by reassessing the commonly accepted models of x-...
متن کاملModelling the clumping-induced polarimetric variability of hot star winds
Context. Clumping in the winds of massive stars may significantly reduce empirical mass-loss rates, and which in turn may have a large impact on our understanding of massive star evolution. Aims. Here, we investigate wind-clumping through the linear polarization induced by light scattering off the clumps. Methods. Through the use of an analytic wind clumping model, we predict the time evolution...
متن کاملFUSE Observations of Variability in Hot-Star Winds
New constraints on the large-scale wind structures responsible for discrete absorption components are obtained from far-ultraviolet time-series observations of O supergiants in the Large Magellanic Cloud. 1. What Causes DACs? Discrete absorption components (DACs) are optical depth enhancements in the absorption troughs of P Cygni profiles, which (a) occur very commonly in wind profiles of OB-ty...
متن کاملFast Winds and Mass Loss from Metal-Poor Field Giants
Echelle spectra of the infrared He I λ10830 line were obtained with NIRSPEC on the Keck 2 telescope for 41 metal-deficient field giant stars including those on the red giant branch (RGB), asymptotic giant branch (AGB), and red horizontal branch (RHB). The presence of this He I line is ubiquitous in stars with Teff & 4500K and MV fainter than −1.5, and reveals the dynamics of the atmosphere. The...
