On the role of continuum-driven eruptions in the evolution of very massive stars and population III stars
N Smith, SP Owocki - The Astrophysical Journal, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
We suggest that the mass lost during the evolution of very massive stars may be dominated
by optically thick, continuum-driven outbursts or explosions, instead of by steady line-driven …
