Hydrodynamic modeling of massive star atmospheres

  • In the last decades, stellar atmosphere codes have become a key tool in understanding massive stars, including precise calculations of stellar and wind parameters, such as temperature, massloss rate, and terminal wind velocity. Nevertheless, for these models the hydrodynamic equation is not solved in the wind. Motivated by the results of the CAK theory, the models typically use a beta velocity law, which however turns out not to be adequate for stars with very strong winds, and treat the mass-loss rate as a free parameter. In a new branch of the Potsdam Wolf-Rayet model atmosphere (PoWR) code, we solve the hydrodynamic equation consistently throughout the stellar atmosphere. The PoWR code performs the calculation of the radiative force without approximations (e.g. Sobolev). We show the impact of hydrodynamically consistent modelling on OB and WR stars in comparison to conventional models and discuss the obtained velocity fields and their impact on the observed spectral lines.
