Physics

Scientific paper

I discuss radiative transfer effects important in modeling X-ray emission line profile shapes in massive star spectra, including scattering in strong resonance lines, and porosity effects caused by large scale clumping. These phenomena are intrinsically interesting and give insights into the microphysics of the winds. They are also crucial to understand if X-ray observations are to be used in multiwavelength mass-loss rate determinations.
