Radiation-driven Stellar Winds

Radiation-Driven Stellar Winds is a theoretical model in astrophysics describing a type of stellar mass loss mechanism in which radiation pressure exerted by photons in the outer layers of massive stars accelerates material to supersonic velocities through momentum transfer, distinguishing it from other stellar wind mechanisms by its primary reliance on radiative forces rather than thermal or magnetic processes.
