Multi-line transfer and line blanketing in a clumpy Wolf-Rayet wind
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 August 2017
Abstract
We present a Wolf-Rayet wind model including clumping, which is assumed to be due to full-scale supersonic compressible turbulence as suggested by Moffat & Robert (1994). It is shown that clumping leads to a larger transfer of radiative to mechanical luminosity, which corresponds to a momentum ratio of (Ṁv∞)/(L/c) = 12 for a typical WN5 star. We also show how clumping reduces the effects of line blanketing in spectral analyses.
