Outflowing disk winds in B[e] Supergiants
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of rapid rotation and bi–stability upon the density contrast between the equatorial and polar directions of a B[e] supergiant are investigated. Based on a new slow solution for different high rotational radiation–driven winds and the fact that bi–stability allows a change in the line–force parameters (α, k, and δ), the equatorial densities are about 10–10 times higher than the polar ones. These values are in qualitative agreement with the observations. This calculation also permits to obtain the aperture angle of the disk.

Outflowing disk formation in B[e] supergiants due to rotation and bi–stability in radiation driven winds
The effects of rapid rotation and bi–stability upon the density contrast between the equatorial and polar directions of a B[e] supergiant are re–investigated. Based upon a new slow solution for different high rotational radiation driven winds (Curé 2004) and the fact that bi–stability allows a change in the line–force parameters (α, k, and δ), the equatorial densities are about 102–104 times hi...
متن کاملOn the hydrogen neutral outflowing disks of B[e] supergiants
Context. B[e] supergiants are known to possess geometrically thick dusty disks. Disk-forming wind models in the literature have, however, been found to be insufficient in reproducing the observed dust emission. This problem arises due to the severe assumption that, as for classical Be stars, the near-infrared excess emission originates in the disk. Modeling of the free-free and free-bound emiss...
متن کاملIonization structure in the disks and winds of B [ e ] stars
We investigate the ionization structure in the non-spherical winds and disks of B[e] stars. Especially the luminous B[e] supergiants seem to have outflowing disks which are neutral in hydrogen already close to the stellar surface. The existence of neutral material so close to the central star is surprising and needs to be investigated in detail. We perform our model calculations mainly in the e...
متن کاملIonization structure in the winds of B [ e ] supergiants I . Ionization equilibrium calculations in a H plus He wind
The non-spherically symmetric winds of B[e] supergiants are investigated. An empirical density distribution is chosen that accounts for the density concentrations and ratios derived from observations, and our model winds are assumed to contain only hydrogen and helium. We first calculate the approximate ionization radii for H and He and compare the results with the ionization fractions calculat...
متن کاملIonization structure in the winds of B[e] supergiants II. Influence of rotation on the formation of equatorial hydrogen neutral zones
Context. B[e] supergiants are known to have non-spherical winds, and the existence of disks that are neutral in hydrogen close to their stellar surface has been postulated. A suitable mechanism to produce non-spherical winds seems to be rapid rotation, and at least for three B[e] supergiants in the Magellanic Clouds rotation velocities at a substantial fraction of their critical velocity have b...
