Magnetic Effects in the Heating and Modification of Flows in the Outer Stellar Atmospheres with Application to Early Type Star Case

Possible magnetic effects in the heating and modification of flows in early type star atmospheres are discussed by referring to the physically related phenomena dealt with for late type stars, young stars, and close binary systems. It is pointed out as the result of that the magnetic field may play important roles also in early type star atmospheres in converting the energy of the radiatively driven outflow into heat, or in modifying the outflow by nozzling or by initial modification of temperature and/or momentum by which the effect of the radiation pressure may be made the most of in accelerating the outflow.
