摘要
An analysis of the lambda 4244 Angstrom continuum light curve of the eclipsing variable V444 Cyg is used to reconstruct the velocity law v(r) of the stellar wind of the WR star in terms of Lamers parametric and power-law models. Both models are inconsistent with the observed light curve, and can be rejected at the < 2% significance level. Departures of the Lamers parametric relation from the empirical v(r) law reconstructed in previous papers from the same <lambda> 4244 Angstrom light curve on sets of concave and convexo-concave functions are statistically significant. The stellar wind of the WN5 star continues to accelerate at a considerable distance from the star's center. This corresponds to an acceleration parameter beta > 1 in terms of a coarse Lamers-law approximation for the empirical v(r) field. (C) 2001 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
