Density profiles of different static and steady-state solutions. On both plots the solid lines show the different cases of hydrostatic solutions and dashed lines show the sub-photospheric part of the steady-state outflow (see Fig. 3e). The different markers then compare hydrostatic solutions for different assumed Thompson scattering Eddington factor Γ_e (left panel) and for different assumed L∕L_rad ratios for thefixed total luminosity log₁₀(L∕L_⊙) = 5.416 (right panel). The numbers at the right end of each density profile correspond to the photospheric effective temperature of the corresponding model in kilo-Kelvins, as defined in the text. To better visualise the innermost parts of the simulations, the right panel displays the logarithm of the scaled radius x = 1 − R_c∕r on the abscissa.
