Is the flow able to escape the gravitational potential????
9 α Ori Bernat & Lambert, 1976 ApJ 204, 830 MnI λ Å λ Å tiny P Cygni profile superimposed to photosperic line core
10 1956 Armin J. Deutsch ApJ 123, 210 Mt. Palomar 5m Coude spectra with very high resolution of M supergiants with earlier spectral-type companions α 1 Sco α 2 Sco M1 Ib B2 V CaII, TII etc. lines very unsual for B2 α 1 Her M5 II α 1 Her G0 III MNI, CrI etc. very unusual for G0 circumstellar lines produced wind of M supergiant

12 Solar wind 1951 Ludwig Biermann Zeitschrift fuer Astrophysik 29, 274 all comet plasma tails point away from sun solar wind with v 400 km/s 1962 Neugebauer & Snyder Science,138, 1169 Mariner 2 probe to Venus finds fast solar wind present all times v 500 ± 300 km/s at Earth orbit n wind = 5 cm -3 highly variable = some M sun /yr 1958 Eugene Parker ApJ 128, 664 first hydrodynamic theory of solar wind
13 II. Spectroscopic evidence for stellar winds 1. Spectral lines in hydrostatic atmospheres Hydrostatic barometric formula thin, plane-parallel atmosphere with temperature gradient
14 symmetric absorption line around central wavelength λ 0 Width of line determined by a) thermal motion of gas b) stellar rotation c) Pressure broadening, stellar gravity
15 1. Line scattering in expanding atmospheres in front of stellar disk: blue-shifted scattering by gas moving towards observer remaining envelope: red- & blue-shifted scattering by gas moving towards and away from observer P Cygni profile width determined by v max
16 Note: line scattering is special re-emission process photon is absorbed and re-emitted by spontaneous emission in same line transition de facto scattering number of photons is conserved N abs = N em typical process for resonance lines
17 If τ spont > τ coll 2. Thermal or recombination emission in expanding atmospheres pure emission profile absorbed photon not re-emitted and destroyed by collisional level excitation or de-excitation re-emission coupled to local T(r) since wind envelope can a huge volume, an emission line might occur width determined by v max
18 If ionization of the atoms with subsequent recombination dominates, then the population of the upper level is controlled from electron transitions cascading from above ionization from ground or excited level cascade of subsequent spontaneous emissions pure emission line
19 3. Other signatures of stellar winds Stellar winds are ubiquitous in all stellar domains!!! Radio: hot stars: free-free emission of winds radio- excess cool stars: maser emission of winds OH, H 2 O, SiO, NH 3 IR: ground-based & satellite telescope (IRAS, ISO, Spitzer, Herschel) hot stars: free-free emission of winds weaker than radio- excess rich emission line spectra H, He, metals cool stars: dust emission in winds, PAHs

44 2. Winds and stellar evolution Winds affect stellar evolution significantly winds mass-loss mass M is decisive parameter for stellar structure/evolution crucial in certain phases, because it changes stellar mass
45 stars with significant during red giant stage good approximation Reimers formula Reimers, 1975; Kudritzki & Reimers, 1978, A&A 70, 227 Note: tremendous mass-loss in RGS and AGB phase star with 8 M sun on main sequence ends up with 1 M sun 7 M sun re-cycled to ISM ejection of Planetary Nebula at tip of AGB
46
47 Late stages of low-mass stellar evolution: CSPN depends on L small, but mass of hydrogen burning shell t evol strongly modified by winds for review of CSPN winds see Kudritzki, Mendez et al., 1997, Proc. IAU Symp. 180, 64 Kudritzki et al., 2006, Proc. IAU Symp. 234, 119
48 White Dwarfs: extremely narrow mass distribution without mass-loss stars with such masses cannot have evolved from the main sequence within Hubble time from the HRDs of open clusters we know the all stars with have formed WDs The mass spectrum observed can be explained by IMF and stellar evolution with mass-loss applying Reimers - formula
49 stars with Stellar winds observable during whole evolution Kudritzki & Puls, 2000, AARA 38, 683 Kudritzki & Urbaneja, 2009 strong for no evolution towards red supergiants stars can lose up to 90% of their mass until He-ZAMS Wolf-Rayet stars: massive stars on He-ZAMS with no H very strong winds!!!
