Is the Star ON FIRE? Nooo, this is a StarlightWind...

Описание: Starlightwinds is a page trying to reflect my love for astrophysics research and teaching. This short intro-video tries to explain in a very brief way what a StarlightWind actually is.

PS: Thumbnail uses some academic freedom -- a starlightwind typically is not just launched above the pole, but rather from all over the star. However, in case the star is also very rapidly rotating, we could actually have such a polar-dominated outflow. But let's save that for another day..
