Fig. 1

Poloidal cut of a self-similar, axisymmetric MHD DW for our reference solution (L5W17). Selected flow surfaces are plotted in red. Four important model parameters affecting predictedrotational signatures are illustrated here: the inner and outer launching radii, rin and rout, of the wind-emitting region (taken as 0.5 au and 8 au in this graph); the magnetic lever arm parameter λBP (here = 5.5)
, with r0 the launch radius and rA
the cylindrical radius reached on the Alfvén surface (in dashed dark blue); and the widening factor
, where rmax
is the maximum radius reached by the streamline (here
= 17, reached at z∕r0 ≃ 200). We note that due to self-similarity, all flow surfaces are homologous to each other and therefore share the same
λBP and
.
