Abstract

Description

The winds of stars with very specific temperatures and luminosities are ideal for determining the magnitude and nature of mass loss in OB stars. I identify these stars and analyze their wind lines. The results are discussed within the context of recent findings which appear to indicate that the mass-loss rates of OB stars may as much as an order of magnitude less than commonly accepted values.
