Star cluster winds: The impact of radiative cooling
Abstract
Here we present a self-consistent stationary solution for spherically symmetric winds driven by massive star clusters under the impact of radiative cooling. We demonstrate that cooling may modify drastically the distribution of temperature and the observational appearance of star cluster winds if the rate of injected energy approaches a critical value, and that the stationary wind solution does not exist if the energy deposition rate exceeds this limit.
