Modeling mass loss from B(e) starsIt was suggested by Zickgraf et al. (1986) that the outer atmospheres of some B(e) stars have a two-component structure: a fast, radiation-driven wind from the pole, and a dense, slow outflow from the equator. Poe et al. (1989) developed this theory to explain the momentum problem associated with WR stars. This paper uses the multiforce wind theory of Poe et al. to model the B(e) outflow phenomenon. Two general questions are investigated: (1) whether B(e) stars can be rotating near critical speed, and if so, (2) what constraints can be placed on the parameters that determine the two-component flow structure.
