Mass fluxes for O-type supergiants with metallicity Z = Z_{\sun}/5
arXiv:1510.04882 · doi:10.1051/0004-6361/201526882
Abstract
A code used previously to predict O-star mass fluxes as a function of metallicity is used to compute a grid of models with the metallicity of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). These models allow mass-loss rates to be derived by interpolation for all O-type supergiants in the SMC, with the possible exception of extremely massive stars close to the Eddington limit.
