Effects of X-rays on the ionization state of Be star winds
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2016
Extract
It is important to understand the ionization state of Be star winds for several reasons, including: (1) if known, mass loss rates can be determined from UV P Cygni profiles; (2) the radiation line driving force which accelerates the winds depends on the ionization distribution; and (3) analysis of line profiles, in conjunction with polarization data, can help assess the credibility of various hypotheses for the assymetric nature of Be star winds.
