Outflowing disk formation in B[e] supergiants due to rotation and bi--stability in radiation driven winds

Astrophysics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

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 (Cur\'e 2004) and the fact that bi--stability allows a change in the line--force parameters (α\alpha, kk, and δ\delta), the equatorial densities are about 10210^2--10410^4 times higher than the polar ones. These values are in qualitative agreement with the observations.
