Discrete Absorption Components from 3-D spot models of hot star winds

F. A. Driessen, N. D. Kee

The winds of hot, massive stars are variable from processes happening on both large and small spatial scales. A particular case of such wind variability is 'discrete-absorption com…

Shock-heated radiation-driven outflows as a solution to the weak-wind problem of late O-type stars

C. Lagae, F. A. Driessen, L. Hennicker +2

Context. Radiation-driven mass loss is key to our understanding of massive-star evolution. However, for low-luminosity O-type stars there are big discrepancies between theoreticall…

Line-drag damping of Alfvén waves in radiatively driven winds of magnetic massive stars

F. A. Driessen, N. D. Kee, J. O. Sundqvist +1

Line-driven stellar winds from massive (OB) stars are subject to a strong line-deshadowing instability. Recently, spectropolarimetric surveys have collected ample evidence that a s…

Radiography in high mass X-ray binaries -- Micro-structure of the stellar wind through variability of the column density

I. El Mellah, V. Grinberg, J. O. Sundqvist +2

In high mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs), an accreting compact object orbits a high mass star which loses mass through a dense and inhomogeneous wind. Using the compact object as an X-r…

Theoretical wind clumping predictions of OB supergiants from line-driven instability simulations across the bi-stability jump

F. A. Driessen, J. O. Sundqvist, N. D. Kee

(Abridged) The behaviour of mass loss across bi-stability jump is a key uncertainty in models of massive stars. While an increase in mass loss is theoretically predicted, this has…
