Radiation-driven magnetohydrodynamic wind solutions for hot luminous stars
Solutions for the stellar winds of hot luminous stars are obtained by solving the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations combined with the radiatively driven outflow formalism given by Castor, Abbott, & Klein. We consider the interaction of radiation pressure and collimated magnetic fields for a no...
