| Abstract: |
This review describes the evidence for small-scale structure,
‘clumping’, in the radiation line-driven winds of hot, massive
stars. In particular, we focus on examining to what extent simulations
of the strong instability inherent to line-driving can explain the
multitude of observational evidence for wind clumping, as well as on
how to properly account for extensive structures in density and
velocity when interpreting the various wind diagnostics used to derive
mass-loss rates. |
