Winds from hot stars

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the analysis of stellar winds from O-stars, B-supergiants, and Central Stars of Planetary Nebulae with O-type spectra is presented.

Mass loss from hot massive stars

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss various aspects of radiation-driven mass loss, both from the theoretical and the observational side, focusing on the winds from OB-stars, and discuss the problems of measuring mass loss rates from weak winds and the potential of the NIR Br α -line as a tool to enable a more precise quantification, and comment on physical explanations for mass-loss rates that are much lower than predicted by the standard model.

ICCD Speckle Observations of Binary Stars. XIX. An Astrometric/Spectroscopic Survey of O Stars

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of a speckle interferometric survey made with the CHARA camera and 4 m-class telescopes of Galactic O-type stars with V 59% have a visual or spectroscopic companion, but less so among field and especially runaway stars.

Sub-surface convection zones in hot massive stars and their observable consequences

TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the convection zones in the outer envelope of hot massive stars which are caused by opacity peaks associated with iron and helium ionization and determine the occurrence and properties of these convection regions as function of the stellar parameters.
