Relativistic Milne-Eddington Type Solutions with a Variable Eddington Factor for Relativistic Spherical Winds

Figure 4

Comoving luminosity for relativistic spherical flows in the LTE case with a uniform source function. The values of 𝛽 are from 0 to 0.9 in steps of 0.1 from top to bottom. The optical depth 𝜏 c at the core radius is set to be 10, and the value of the source function [ 𝜅 0 / ( 𝜅 0 + 𝜎 0 ) ] 𝑊 0 / 𝐿 s is set to be unity. The solid curves represent the present analytical solutions, while the dashed ones mean the solutions of the homogeneous part.
