A model for selective line-driven acceleration of ions in the solar winds of OB-type stars occurring via the nonlinear process of stimulated Rayleigh scattering

P. P. Sorokin, J. H. Glownia

A conceptually novel model - one in which stimulated (i.e. induced) resonance Rayleigh scattering causes ions of select species to become accelerated to very high terminal velociti…
