Outflowing disk winds in B[e] Supergiants

Astrophysics 2016-08-16 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 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\alpha, kk, and δ\delta), the equatorial densities are about 10210^2--10310^3 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.
