Dynamical simulations of magnetically channelled line-driven stellar winds - II. The effects of field-aligned rotation

Dynamical simulations of magnetically channelled line-driven stellar winds - II. The effects of field-aligned rotation

Building upon our previous magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulation study of magnetic channelling in radiatively driven stellar winds, we examine here the additional dynamical effects of stellar rotation in the (still) 2D axisymmetric case of an aligned dipole surface field. In addition to the magnetic confinement parameter η* introduced in Paper I, …
