Variable and non-spherical stellar winds in luminous hot stars : proceedings of the IAU Colloquium no. 169, held in Heidelberg, Germany, 15-19 June 1998 /

Show other versions (1)

There is abundant evidence that essentially all luminous hot-star winds contain time-dependent and anisotropic structures. IAU Colloquium 169 was convened to review the observations of variability and asphericity, to discuss the physical processes that might cause such behavior and to look for evolu...
