Mass-loss influences stellar evolution, especially for massive stars with strong winds. Stellar wind bow shock nebulae driven by Galactic OB stars can be used to measure mass-loss rates ( $\dot{M}$ ). The standoff distance ( R _0 ) between the star and the bow shock is set by momentum flux balance b...
