Line profiles of OB star winds using a Monte Carlo method
Abstract
The solution of the radiative transfer in an expanding atmospheres using the Monte Carlo method is presented. We applied our method to winds of several OB stars. In our calculation, the velocity and density structure is assumed to be given. Selected line profiles are shown.
