Stellar and galactic winds.
Abstract
The mass loss phenomenon in hot luminous stars is discussed and models for the structure of the wind, two component models and shock models are described. The constraints on models by X-ray observations are analysed. Mass flows in our Galaxy, external galaxies and quasars are discussed, models are described, and the interaction of gas expelled by stars with the environment is analysed.
