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…

H-atom laser without inversion (LWI) in space: a possible explanation for the intense, narrow-band, H(alpha) emission frequently observed in reddened early-type stars
P. P. Sorokin, J. H. Glownia
A model is suggested to explain the frequently observed presence of intense, narrow-band, H(alpha) emission lines in the optical spectra of reddened, early-type stars (e.g. HD 4417…

The Importance of Nonlinear H2 Photoexcitiation in Strongly Irradiated PDRs
P. P. Sorokin, J. H. Glownia, R. T. Hodgson
It is shown that, under sufficiently intense OB-star illumination of a stationary photoexcitation front (PDR), nonlinear H2 photoexcitation processes comprising driven resonant two…
