modified wind momentum
  جنباک ِ باد ِ واترزیده

Fr.: moment angulaire de vent modifié  

A quantity defined as Π = (dM/dt) v∞ R0.5 for a star with radius R having a wind with → terminal velocity v∞ and a → mass loss rate dM/dt. There is a tight linear relation between the modified wind momenta and the stellar luminosities for → Population I→ O stars. See also → wind momentum.
