The Dynamic Atmospheres of Classical Cepheids: Studies of Atmospheric Extension, Mass Loss, and Shocks

In this dissertation, we develop new tools for the study of stellar atmospheres, pulsating stellar atmospheres and mass loss from pulsating stars. These tools provide new insights into the structure and evolution of stars and complement modern observational techniques such as optical interferometry...
