Radiatively-driven stellar winds [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1986 In this review, attention will be focussed exclusively on the winds of hot stars, concentrating for the most part on spectral types 0 and B. For these stars, a clear consensus has emerged that it is the gradient of selective radiation pressure - i.e., line-driving - that explains the high terminal velocities, typically ~ 2000 km s−1, of their winds ...

The interaction of multiple stellar winds in stellar clusters: potential flow
, 2018 While several studies have investigated large-scale cluster winds resulting from an intra-cluster interaction of multiple stellar winds, as yet they have not provided details of the bordering flows inside a given cluster.

Highlights of Astronomy, 1989 AbstractThis review discusses winds from stars with hot outer atmospheres, stars with coronae similar to the sun. It illustrates how solar observations can be used to test a theoretical model for solar-stellar winds, and thereby provide some insights concerning applications to studying winds from stars other than the sun.

Stellar Mass Loss-Driven Wind Models of Elliptical Galaxies?
, 1994 Recent claims in the literature (Bressan, Chiosi & Fagotto 1994) that the epoch describing the onset of galactic winds in spheroidal star systems has been severely overestimated in the past, due to the neglect of energy deposited in the interstellar ...

A FUSE View of the Stellar Winds of Planetary Nebula Central Stars
, 2009 Since the IUE satellite produced a vast collection of high-resolution UV spectra of central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPNe), there has not been any further systematic study of the stellar winds of these stars. The high spectral resolution, sensitivity

Accretion in supergiant High Mass X-ray Binaries
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2014 Supergiant High Mass X-ray Binary systems (sgHMXBs) consist of a massive, late type, star and a neutron star. The massive stars exhibits strong, radiatively driven, stellar winds.

The effects of stellar winds and magnetic fields on exoplanets
, 2013 The great majority of exoplanets discovered so far are orbiting cool, low-mass stars whose properties are relatively similar to the Sun. However, the stellar magnetism of these stars can be significantly different from the solar one, both in topology and

Modeling T Tauri Winds from He I 10830 Profiles [PDF]
, 2006 The high opacity of He I 10830 makes it an exceptionally sensitive probe of the inner wind geometry of accreting T Tauri stars. In this line blueshifted absorption below the continuum results from simple scattering of stellar photons, a situation which ...

Highlights of Astronomy, 1980 The term stellar wind is used nowadays to describe any more or less continuous mass loss from a star. With the observations made with satellites in recent years it is becoming clear that most stars are undergoing this form of mass loss, though its magnitude can be very different from one star to another.
