KWD.v_infinity

A parameter controlling the radial streamline velocities of a steller wind at large distances. Described by the KWD model and given in terms of Castor & Lamers equation,

\[v(r) = v_0 + (v_\infty - v_0) * (1 - R_s/r)^\beta.\]

Type

Double

Unit

\(v_{esc}\) (in units of escape velocity)

Values

Greater than 0
