Comparison of theoretical radiation-driven winds from stars and discs

Abstract

We compare models of line-driven winds from accretion discs and single spherical stars. We look at the problem of scaling mass-loss rates and velocities of stellar and disc winds with model parameters. We find that stellar and disc winds driven by radiation, within the CAK framework, are very similar as far as mass-loss rates and velocities are concerned. Thus we can use analytic results for stellar winds to rescale, in a first order approximation, numerical results for disc winds. We also show how the CAK stellar solutions change when we take into account effects of very low luminosities or line-driving force.
