NLTE outflow model spectra as a function of mass-loss rate. Synthetic Hα emission profiles for mass-loss rates ﹩\dot{M}﹩ ranging over three orders of magnitude. Mass-loss rates above 1013 g s−1 are required to produce the double-peaked morphology; higher values yield more asymmetric double peaks due to stronger vertical outflow winds.
