Clumping-corrected mass-loss rates of Wolf-Rayet stars: comparison with the optically thick wind model

Clumping-corrected mass-loss rates of Wolf-Rayet stars lie in the range 0.2–10 x 10 −5 M ⊙ yr −1 . It was found that optically thick wind models can lead to the observed mass-loss rates of WR stars at certain energy supply conditions in the subsonic zone.
