Abstract

In this work we seek to derive simultaneously the stellar and wind parameters of massive stars, mainly A and B type supergiant stars. Our stellar properties encompass the effective temperature, the surface gravity, the micro-turbulence velocity and, silicon abundance. For wind properties we consider the line–force parameters (α, k and δ) obtained from the standard line-driven wind theory. To model the data we use the radiative transport code Fastwind considering the hydrodynamic solutions derived with the stationary code Hydwind. Then, ISOSCELES, a grid of stellar atmosphere and hydrodynamic models of massive stars is created. Together with the observed spectra and a semi-automatic tool the physical properties from these stars are determined through spectral line fittings. This quantitative spectroscopic analysis provide an estimation about the line–force parameters. In addition, we confirm that the hydrodynamic solutions, called δ-slow solutions, describe quite reliable the radiation line-driven winds of B supergiant stars.
