What do these 3 have in common: Wolf-Rayet stars, the Pistol Star and
Alkaid (Eta UMa?


*Shrugs* They all suffer from terrible wind, live life in the fast lane and
will go out with a bang?

In other words: They have strong solar winds, are high-mass blue-white fast
'burning' short-lifetime stars and will die in rather violent and exotic
ways.

On the other hand if I was cynical I'd say they all belonged to a homework
question!
