First 3d radiation-hydrodynamic simulations of wolf-rayet winds

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Classical WR winds have high terminal speeds and high mass-loss rates (on the order of 10-7 - 10-4 M⊙ yr-1 e_g, Nugis and amp; Lamers 2000; Hamann et_al 2019), and are optically thick to the extent that they hide the hydrostatic stellar core. Identifying the exact launching mechanism that can produce WR winds strong enough to match observations is, however, still an active area of research (e_g, Poniatowski et_al 2021; Sander et_al 2019). At the lowest simulated luminosity, model Γ1 resembles how a standard line-driven wind is launched from the . . .
