Scientific paper

This review deals with some of the key areas where FUSE spectroscopy has advanced our understanding of hot star winds. The power of the far-UV spectral line diagnostics observed by FUSE is discussed in the context of both time-averaged and temporally varying winds. The results are collated from three diverse, but related settings: (i) the current serious discordance of different mass-loss estimates for O-type stars with clumped winds, (ii) the detection of time-variable structure and clumping in the fast winds of PN central stars, and (iii) globally (sometimes strictly periodic) modulation of collimated outflows from the inner accretion disks of cataclysmic variable binary stars.
