SUMMARY:The Many Facets of Massive Star Mass Loss
DESCRIPTION:The Many Facets of Massive Star Mass Loss\nDr. Stan Owocki\n\nM
 assive stars lose mass through powerful, radiatively driven stellar  winds
 . Building on the original "CAK" model for steady, spherical winds  driven
  by line-scattering, this talk will review recent research on the  multi-f
 aceted nature of such wind mass loss under varied conditions, for  example
  due to rapid rotation, magnetic channeling, binary interaction,  or a lum
 inosity near the Eddington limit. An overall theme is that wind  mass loss
  can in this way lead to a wide variety of astrophysical  phenomena, inclu
 ding bipolar nebulae, massive star magnetospheres,  colliding winds or com
 pact companion accretion, and luminous blue  variable eruption. The discus
 sion here will summarize these with an  emphasis on their varied observati
 onal signatures.
