Hot Stellar Winds
Other stellar winds
All stars have winds, in the one or other way, not only the hot ones. The sun
and similar stars, for instance, have winds good to make beautiful Aurorae,
but so thin that they are hardly noticed over interstellar distances. Cool
stars, on the other hand, have very dense and slow winds, so much that they
start condensing at some point to form interstellar dust. I won't go into
further detail, but like to offer a course I gave on stellar winds at
Heidelberg 2004/5, including the three types mentioned above and some theory
of wind driving, for download:

A lot of very good material on stellar winds, and radiation driven stellar
winds in particular, you'll also find on the page of Stan Owocki, under the
headline of "Talks/Seminars/Presentations"
