... 1 AU, and aAU is the radial distance from the star in units of AU. The surface density of gas follows a similar relation, increased by a factor of about 100. An important part of the MMSN model is the snow line at ∼3 AU. This distance marks where the temperature becomes low enough for ices to conden ...

spherical winds – spherical accretion
... Many stars are known to loose mass. The solar wind carries away about 10−14 M⊙ yr−1 of very hot plasma. This rate is insignificant. In fact, solar radiation carries away 4 × 1033 erg s −1 , which reduces solar mass by about 10−13 M⊙ yr−1 . However, very luminous, supergiant stars are losing matter a ...
