Evidence for disks around certain luminous Magellanic cloud stars from the study of FeII
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Abstract
Study of FeII emission lines in emission and absorption using both emission line self absorption curves and ultraviolet spectral synthetis, shows that line emission is produced in the case of certain luminous Magellanic Cloud stars, in a region not in front of the photosphere. This region is most easily understood as being a disk. Absorption lines of FeII are either produced by a wind, or if the disk inclination is small with respect to the line of sight, in layers associated with the disk. The presence of disks also helps one to explain the form of the continuous energy distribution.
