Abstract

Parker's hydrodynamic stellar wind model is extended to polytropic gas flows. A compatible theoretical formulation is given and detailed systematic considerations are presented. The polytropic conditions are shown to lead to tenuous and faster wind flows and hence enable the stars to lose their angular momentum more quickly.
