Instability and Variability of Hot-star Winds Proceedings of an International Workshop Held at Isle-Aux-Coudres, Quebec Province, Canada, August 23-27, 1993

Focuses on how the time-dependent structures observed in hot- star winds relate to radiative and other instabilities, but also investigates the role of turbulence and the nature of its driver; how stellar rotation, pulsation, and magnetic fields influence time-dependent phenomena; and how the variability of stellar wind affects the derivation of mass-loss rates, stellar evolution, and momentum/energy deposition in the interstellar medium. The 45 papers and discussions treat spectroscopic observations of structure in winds of various types of stars, constraints on wind structure from different types of observations, phenomenological and hydrodynamic models, and other topics.
