Scientific paper

A new model for the radio emission from hot stars is described. Electrons are accelerated to relativistic energies by shocks in the wind near the star and emit radio radiation through the synchrotron mechanism. The particle energy spectrum and radio spectrum for this model have been calculated; the model can account for many of the observd characteristics of some recently discovered stars which have peculiar radio emission. The magnetic fields which are required are quite small (1 to 10 Gauss at the surface of the star). High energy particles accelerated by shocks near the star may also make hot stars significant sources of γ-rays.
