a tight power-law relation between the modified wind momentum of hot massive stars and their luminosity, predicted by line-driven wind theory and proposed as a distance indicator.

In astrophysics, wind momentum-luminosity relation refers to a tight power-law relation between the modified wind momentum of hot massive stars and their luminosity, predicted by line-driven wind theory and proposed as a distance indicator. This meaning comes from Kudritzki (2000) in Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics.[1]
