Line profile variability in spectra of hot massive stars
Abstract
We report the results of our study of the fast line profile variability (LPV) (hours - few days) in the spectra of bright OB and WR stars. All spectra were obtained with 6-m and 1-m telescope of Russian Special Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) and 1.8-m telescope of Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory, Korea (BOAO). We detected both the stochastic LPV, connected with the formation of small-scale structures in the stellar wind and the regular LPV induced by the large-scale structures in the wind.
