Pseudo-Schwarzschild Description of Accretion-Powered Spherical Outflow

Abstract
Using two different pseudo-Schwarzschild potentials proposed by Artemova et. al, we formulate and solve the equations governing spherically symmetric transonic inflow and outflow in presence of a relativistic hadronic pressure mediated steady, standing, spherical shock around the central compact object and then we self-consistently connect the accretion-wind solutions to calculate the mass outflow rate in terms of minimum number of flow parameters. Also we study the dependence of this rate on various boundary conditions governing the flow.
