Mass loss from hot massive stars

J Puls, JS Vink, F Najarro - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2008 - Springer
Mass loss is a key process in the evolution of massive stars, and must be understood
quantitatively if it is to be successfully included in broader astrophysical applications such as …

X-ray spectroscopy of stars

M Güdel, Y Nazé - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2009 - Springer
Non-degenerate stars of essentially all spectral classes are soft X-ray sources. Their X-ray
spectra have been important in constraining physical processes that heat plasma in stellar …
