Scientific paper

The mass and angular-momentum effluxes of a stellar wind are determined by the mass and radius of the star and the mass density, temperature, rotation, and magnetic field of the stellar corona. A parametric study, under the assumption of a polytropic relationship, indicates that the mass efflux will be large if the star has small mass and large radius and the stellar corona has high mass density and temperature. The angular-momentum efflux increases in more than linear proportion to the stellar rotation and magnetic field.
