Hydrodynamical Models of Rotating Magnetic Winds

P. K. Barker-1982-01-01-Symposium - International Astronomical Union

TL;DRAbstract

Numerical investigations of rotating stellar winds driven by a combination of magnetic and line radiation forces show a clear dichotomy: shallow winds have their azimuthal velocity enhanced by magnetic corotation, whereas steep winds may have a diminished circular velocity.
