| Abstract |
We present a new empirical prescription for the mass-loss rates of
hydrogen-free Wolf-Rayet stars based on results of detailed spectral
analyses of WC and WO stars. Compared to the prescription of Nugis &
Lamers (2000), M⊙ is less sensitive to the surface helium abundance,
implying a stronger mass loss at the late stages of Wolf-Rayet
evolution. The winds of hydrogen-free WN stars have a strong metallicity
dependence, while those of WC and WO stars have a very weak metallicity
dependence.
