We present two self-consistent procedures that couple the hydrodynamics with calculations of the line-force in the frame of radiation wind theory. These procedures give us the line-force parameters, the velocity field, and the mass-loss rate. The first one is based on the so-called m-CAK theory. A full set of line-force parameters for $T_\text{eff}\ge 32,000$ K and surface gravities higher than 3.4 dex for two different metallicities are presented, along with their corresponding wind parameters. We find that the dependence of line-force parameters on effective temperature is enhanced by the dependence on $\log g$. For the case of homogeneous winds (without clumping) comparison of self-consistent mass-loss rates shows a good agreement with empirical values. We also consider self-consistent wind solutions that are used as input in FASTWIND to calculate synthetic spectra. By comparison with the observed spectra for three stars with clumped winds, we found that varying the clumping factor the synthetic spectra rapidly converge into the neighbourhood region of the solution. Therefore, this self-consistent m-CAK procedure significantly reduces the number of free parameters needed to obtain a synthetic spectrum.
The second procedure (called Lambert-procedure) provides a self-consistent solution beyond m-CAK theory, and line-acceleration is calculated by the full NLTE radiative transfer code CMFGEN. Both the mass-loss rate and the clumping factor are set as free parameters, hence their values are obtained by spectral fitting after the respective self-consistent hydrodynamics is calculated. Since performing the Lambert-procedure requires significant computational power, the analysis is made only for the star z-Puppis.
The promising results gives a positive balance about the future applications for the self-consistent solutions presented on this thesis.
Models for Weak Wind and Momentum Problems in the Winds of Hot Stars
我们提出了热星风超音速部分的速度结构模型,以估计密度和速度聚集的影响。使用XSTAR(Kallman,2018)计算Sobolev近似下谱线(力倍增器FM)中的辐射压力(Castor等人,1975 CAK; Stevens和Kallman,1990)。FM计算为两个参数的函数:Xi和t。线力包含在动量方程和质量守恒中。这些被集成在超音速部分的风的一个样本的OB-和WR-明星。用速度定律进行拟合,得到质量损失率和流出速度作为输出。亚音速部分的边界条件和速度定律用β定律公式(β = 0.6,Vin = 10 km/s)近似。据发现,WR-星,由于其大的吸收,已经在r/Rstar = 1.01辐射光谱缺乏软X射线低于230埃(氦II电离)。这一关键事实将力乘数提高了10倍,使其能够在CAK框架中加速风。因此,动量问题是一个不透明度问题(Gayley et al.,1995)。OB-stars的结果指向中等密度的聚集(Fvol=0.13)。此外,主序星OB需要速度聚集(Fvel=0.1,Sundqvist et al 2014)。这可以解释弱风的问题。
