Lbv Outbursts: the Eeects of Rotation 1
نویسنده
چکیده
A simple model of three winds (fast{slow{fast) for LBV outbursts is presented. At the outburst (slow wind), the rotating star reaches its Omega limit. We nd that our proposed scenario for rotating, massive , single stars leads naturally to a circumstellar gas distribution similar to the Homunculus nebula of Car.

Photometric variability of LBV - candidate stars and Hubble - Sandage variables A , B , C and 2 in M 33
We present the photometric history of some Luminous Blue Variable candidate stars in M 33. The search for outbursts was made in photographic plates taken in the B band of the galaxy M 33 and cover an eight year period, 1982–1990. Twenty five plates, separated into seven groups, have been used. CCD UBV magnitudes of the star UIT003 are presented also. Only one (of 12) of the LBV candidates (UIT0...
متن کاملGiant Outbursts of Luminous Blue Variables and the Formation of the Homunculus Nebula Around η Carinae
The observed giant outbursts of Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs) may occur when these massive stars approach their Eddington limits. When this happens, they must reach a point where the centrifugal force and the radiative acceleration cancel out gravity at the equator. We call this the Ω-limit. When stars are close to the Ω-limit, strong non-spherical mass loss should occur. This suggests a scena...

(The image quality has been reduced to submit this paper to astro-ph. To get a full resolution version, please visit A new point of view on the dynamics of the circumstellar nebula M1-67 around the runaway Wolf-Rayet (WR) star WR 124 is presented. We simulated the outbursts of nebulae with different morphologies, to compare the results to the observed dynamical spectra of M1-67. We found that i...
متن کاملInstabilities in massive stars
A defining property of massive stars is the dominant, dynamical role played by radiation throughout the stellar interior, atmosphere, and wind. Associated with this radiation hydrodynamics are several distinct kinds of instabilities that can lead to convection in both core and envelope, clumping in atmosphere and wind outflow, and perhaps even the dramatic mass loss outbursts associated with Lu...
متن کاملCan Fu Orionis Outbursts Regulate the Rotation Rates of T Tauri Stars?
We propose that FU Orionis outbursts may play an important role in maintaining the slow rotation of classical disk-accreting T Tauri stars. Current estimates for the frequency and duration of FU Orionis outbursts and the mass accretion rates of T Tauri and FU Orionis stars suggest that more mass may be accreted during the outbursts than during the T Tauri phases. If this is the case, then the o...
