Abstract

Radiative wind from active hot stars has been studied for more than two decades. During this period, numerous models which try to fit a small number of observables as closely as possible have been developed, such observables being Ha line profile and continuum energy distribution or polarization data. Rapid progress has been made in high angular resolution technics; however, little has been done to include these high angular resolution observations in simulations in spite of the fact that such data can strongly constrain radiative wind models. In this paper, the way in which long baseline interferometry can be used to constrain different models will be illustrated by means of a radiative wind model for active hot stars that we have developed at Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur, in France.KeywordsLine ProfileStellar WindHigh Angular ResolutionBaseline InterferometrySpeckle InterferometryThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
