Abstract
The theory of radiative-line driven wind including stellar rotation is re-examined. After a suitable change of variables a new set of non-linear equations for the position of the critical (singular) point is obtained. For a constant massloss rate, these equations suggests the existence of many additional critical points, besides the standard m-CAK critical point. The number and location of these points depends strongly on the values of the rotational velocity of the star.
