We study line driven stellar winds using multifrequency, time-dependent radiation hydrodynamics. We compute the radiation force due to lines, the so called force multiplier, using precomputed photoionization tables and a time-dependent,…

Winds from massive stars have velocities of 1000 km/s or more, and produce hot, high pressure gas when they shock. We develop a theory for the evolution of bubbles driven by the collective winds from star clusters early in their lifetimes,…

As a cool star evolves, it loses mass and angular momentum due to magnetized stellar winds which affect its rotational evolution. This change has consequences that range from the alteration of its activity to influences over the atmosphere…
