The theory of radiatively driven stellar winds. III - Wind models with finite disk correction and rotation
Abstract
A model of a radiation-driven stellar wind is presented that includes a correction factor for the finite size of the star as well as the centrifugal force due to the star's rotation. The addition of the finite disk factor reduces the line force near the star and increases it far from the star, which lowers the mass-loss rate, increases the terminal velocity, and makes the velocity law more gradual. These changes bring the wind model into much closer agreement with observations of hot star winds. The decrease in the ratio of terminal velocity to escape velocity in the B supergiants can be explained as due to a change in the mixture of driving lines.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
