Clumping-corrected mass-loss rates of Wolf-Rayet stars lie in the range 0.2–10 x 10−5 M⊙ yr−1. It was found that optically thick wind models can lead to the observed mass-loss rates of WR stars at certain energy supply conditions in the subsonic zone.

Abstract. Embayment terminating glaciers interact dynamically with seasonal sea ice and icebergs, a mixture we refer to as mélange. For certain glaciers, mélange prevents calved bergs from rotating away from the front, thus allowing the ice front to advance into the embayment. Here we demonstrate that mélange can, if rigid enough, provide sufficient buttressing to reduce the calving rate, while leaving the ice-front velocity largely unaffected. The net result is additional ice-front advance. Observations indicate a seasonal advance/retreat cycle has occurred at Jakobshavn Isbræ since the 1950s. We model an idealized Jakobshavn Isbræ-like scenario and find that mélange may be responsible for a seasonal ice-front advance of up to 0.6 km. These results come from a model that incorporates mélange into the interior of the domain, includes relevant stresses, and models drag via a kinematic boundary condition. A weakening or loss of mélange due to increasing temperatures would lead to further mass loss from glaciers such as Jakobshavn Isbræ.

Loss Rates

We determined the dependence of mass loss on the stellar parameters for O and B stars of various luminosities. We used four homogenous sets of mass loss rates derived by different authors from the radioflux, the infrared excess, the UV lines and Hα emission. As the rates derived from the radio flux are the least dependent on model assumptions for the stellar wind, these will be adopted as our standards. The others sets of mass loss rates will be corrected for the differences in the adopted wind model, especially in the velocity law, by scaling the rates to those derived from radio data, using the stars which the different sets have in common.

Open Magnetic Field

With their rotating, magnetic, radiation-driven wind model, Friend & MacGregor (1984) found that rapid rotation and an open magnetic field could enhance the mass loss rate (ṁ) and terminal velocity (V∞) in an 0 star wind. The purpose of this paper is to see if this model could help explain the winds from Be stars. The following features of Be star winds need to be explained: 1) Be stars exhibit linear polarization (Coyne & McLean 1982), indicating an enhanced equatorial density. 2) There appears to be enhanced mass loss (at low velocity) in the equatorial plane, from IRAS observations of Waters (1986). 3) The width of the broad Balmer emission lines remains unexplained.

AbstractWe study the effect of wind inhomogeneities (clumping) on O star wind model predictions. For this purpose we artificially include clumping into our stationary NLTE wind models. As a result of the inclusion of optically thin clumps the radiative line force is increased compared to corresponding unclumped models, with a similar effect on either the mass-loss rate or the terminal velocity. When the clumps are allowed to be optically thick in continuum, on the other hand, the radiative force and consequently the mass-loss rate decreases alternatively.

Last year we reported1 that there is a striking reduction in the rate of mass loss when a specimen is observed at liquid helium temperature. It is important to determine whether liquid helium temperature is significantly better than liquid nitrogen temperature. This requires a good understanding of mass loss effects in cold stages around 100K.

Quantification in biological x-ray microanalysis depends on accurate evaluation of mass loss. Although several studies have addressed the problem of electron beam induced mass loss from organic samples (eg., 1,2). uncertainty persists as to the dose dependence, the extent of loss, the elemental constituents affected, and the variation in loss for different materials and tissues. in the work described here, we used x-ray counting rate changes to measure mass loss in albumin (used as a quantification standard), salivary gland, and muscle.In order to measure mass loss at low doses (10-4 coul/cm2 ) large samples were needed. While freeze-dried salivary gland sections of the required dimensions were available, muscle sections of this size were difficult to obtain. To simulate large muscle sections, frog or rat muscle homogenate was injected between formvar films which were then stretched over slot grids and freeze-dried. Albumin samples were prepared by a similar procedure. using a solution of bovine serum albumin in water. Samples were irradiated in the STEM mode of a JEOL 100C.

It has long been recognised that silicates can suffer extensive beam damage in electron-beam instruments. The predominant damage mechanism is radiolysis. For instance, damage in quartz, SiO2, results in loss of structural order without mass loss whereas feldspars (framework silicates containing Ca, Na, K) suffer loss of structural order with accompanying mass loss. In the latter case, the alkali ions, particularly Na, are found to migrate away from the area of the beam. The aim of the present study was to investigate the loss of various elements from the common silicate structures during electron irradiation at 100 kV over a range of current densities of 104 - 109 A m−2. (The current density is defined in terms of 50% of total current in the FWHM probe). The silicates so far ivestigated are:- olivine [(Mg, Fe)SiO4], a structure that has isolated Si-O tetrahedra, garnet [(Mg, Ca, Fe)3Al2Si3AO12 another silicate with isolated tetrahedra, pyroxene [-Ca(Mg, Fe)Si2O6 a single-chain silicate; mica [margarite, -Ca2Al4Si4Al4O2O(OH)4], a sheet silicate, and plagioclase feldspar [-NaCaAl3Si5O16]. Ion- thinned samples of each mineral were examined in a VG Microscopes UHV HB501 field- emission STEM. The beam current used was typically - 0.5 nA and the current density was varied by defocussing the electron probe. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectra were collected every 10 seconds for a total of 200 seconds using a Link Systems windowless detector. The thickness of the samples in the area of analysis was normally 50-150 nm.
