The Basic Physics of Hot-Star Winds
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2016
Abstract
Hot-star winds are believed to be driven by line-scattering of the star's continuum radiation. This review summarizes the physics of this line-driving process and the resulting basic wind properties. I also briefly discuss the generation of wind structure, both at small scale due to inherent instabilities in the line-driving, and at large scales due to various rotational effects.
