Line-driven winds from accretion disks. I. Effects of the ionization structure
Journal Article
·
· Astrophys. J.; (United States)
The basic characteristics of line-driven winds from UV accretion disks were investigated analytically and numerically. Stellar winds have been compared with the outflow from a disk surrounding a supermassive black hole. It is found that in the approximation of vertically streaming radiation close to the disk photosphere, the existence of steady disk winds depends crucially on their ionization structure, a basic difference when compared to the stellar winds. The necessary criteria for the line radiation force to support the disk wind are presented and discussed. 48 references.
