Two-dimensional modeling of density and thermal structure of dense circumstellar outflowing disks

Abstract: Context. Evolution of massive stars is affected by a significant loss of mass either via (nearly) spherically symmetric stellar winds or by aspherical mass-loss mechanisms, namely the outflowing equatorial disks. However, the scenario that leads to the formation of a disk or rings of gas and dust around massive stars is still under debate. It is also unclear how various forming physical mechanisms of the circumstellar environment affect its shape and density, as well as its kinematic and thermal structure. Aim… Show more

“…We assume an isothermal initial temperature structure of the CSM (of both the components) within the computational domain, given as T sw = T csd = 0.7T eff (cf. Carciofi & Bjorkman 2008;Kurfürst et al 2018). This also indicates the initial counterpressure of the CSM as P = ρa 2 , where the square sound speed a 2 is given by Eq.…”

“…Carciofi & Bjorkman 2008). For simplicity we omit the vertical (relatively shallow) variations of the temperature profile (e.g., Sigut & Jones 2007;Kurfürst et al 2018). However, the temperature profile serves in our study only as a basis for determining the initial gas pressure of CSM (where ρ may be either ρ sw or ρ csd ),…”

“…The ER is reminiscent of similar ring-like circumstellar features observed in SN 1987A (e.g., Frank et al 2016 and references therein) and the B-type supergiant SBW1 (Smith et al 2013). Such structures may originate from mass loss facilitated by the rapid rotation of the progenitor, binary interactions, confinement of the shed mass by magnetic fields, and possible combinations of these factors (e.g., Kurfurst et al 2018 and references therein).…”
