The statistical and thermal equilibrium of P Cygni’s wind as a function of radius is investigated using the model of Drew (1985) with an improved treatment of hydrogen. Provisional calculated hydrogen and helium line fluxes are compared with observation. The wind temperature is found to be cooler than observation implies, and a further heating source is tentatively identified.
