Mass-loss predictions and stellar masses of early-type stars
We show that the stellar masses implied by our predictions of the wind properties of massive stars are in agreement with masses derived from evolution theory and from direct measurements using spectroscopic binaries, contrary to previous attempts to derive masses from wind theory.
متن کاملMass loss from OB-stars
We review recent developments regarding radiation driven mass loss from OB-stars. We first summarize the fundamental theoretical predictions, and then compare these to observational results (including the VLT-FLAMES survey of massive stars). Especially we focus on the mass loss-metallicity dependence and on the so-called bi-stability jump. Subsequently we concentrate on two urgent problems, wea...
متن کاملLink between Mass - loss and Variability Type for AGB Stars ?
We find that AGB stars separate in the 25-12 vs. 12-K color-color diagram according to their chemistry (O, S vs. C) and variability type (Miras vs. SRb/Lb). While discrimination according to the chemical composition is not surprising, the separation of Miras from SRb/Lb variables is unexpected. We show that “standard” steady-state radiatively driven models provide excellent fits to the color di...
متن کاملCircumstellar molecular line emission from S-type AGB stars: Mass-loss rates and SiO abundances
Aims. The main aim is to derive reliable mass-loss rates and circumstellar SiO abundances for a sample of 40 S-type AGB stars based on new multi-transitional CO and SiO radio line observations. In addition, the results are compared to previous results for M-type AGB stars and carbon stars to look for trends with chemical type. Methods. The circumstellar envelopes are assumed to be spherically s...
متن کاملConstraints on mass loss from dMe stars: theory and observations
We show that the flux distribution of a wind from a cool star differs considerably from what is predicted by the theory for mass loss from hot stars. The differences are caused by the facts that 1) themass loss rates are lower, resulting in smaller optical depths in the wind, and 2) for winds from cool stars the temperature of thewind is higher than the temperature of the star while for winds f...
