The theory of steady-state super-Eddington winds and its application to novae.
SHAVIV N.J.
Abstract (from CDS):
(i) A general relation between the mass-loss rate and the total luminosity in super-Eddington systems.
(ii) A natural explanation of the long-duration super-Eddington outflows that are clearly observed in at least two cases (Novae LMC 1988 #1 and FH Serpentis).
(iii) A qualitative agreement between the prediction and observations of the mass loss and temperature evolution.
(iv) An agreement between the predicted average integrated mass loss of novae as a function of white dwarf mass and its observations.
(v) A natural explanation for the `transition phase' of novae.
(vi) Agreement with η Carinae, which was used to double check the theory: the prediction for the mass shed in the star's great eruption agrees with observations to within the measurement error.
