Line-driven ablation of circumstellar disks: I. Optically thin decretion disks of classical Oe/Be stars

N. D. Kee, S. P. Owocki, J. O. Sundqvist

The extreme luminosities of hot, massive stars drive strong stellar winds through UV line-scattering. For OB stars with an orbiting circumstellar disk, we explore the effect of suc…
