It is shown that the mass loss rate of the WN7 star HD 93162 decreases with larger values of the ratio of total to selective extinction R. for HD 93162 the mass loss rate will change one order of magnitude, only if ΔR ∼ 2. Mass loss rates are derived for nine other WR stars of which visual, red and near-infrared photometric observations were obtained.

AbstractThe absolute measurements of flux emitted in the visible continua of some Galactic Wolf-Rayet stars were carried out by means of a two-channel scanner. The measurements lead to the determination of stellar angular diameters which enable us to compute log L*/L⊙. The stellar wind terminal velocity, V∞ was obtained from the empirical relation of the effective temperatures by Underbill (1983) and V∞, adopted from the work of Willis (1982). Also, we derived the rate of mass loss for the WR stars from the formula Ṁ = є(Teff)L/(V∞c) by using the obtained effective temperatures, luminosity and V∞ in this work. The values of the rates range from 1.4 × 10−5 to 5.8 × 10−5M⊙yr−1.

Loss Rates

Central stars of planetary nebulae (PNCS) frequently exhibit fast winds (cf. Cerruti-Sola and Perinotto, 1985; C.P. and Grewing, this volume). They may be important for the structure of the whole nebula as well as for the evolution of the central star. Their speed is typically two orders of magnitude higher than that of the classical optically visible nebula, which in turn expands a few times faster than the most external winds detected in few cases in the radio domain.I review here the status of art in the determination of the mass loss rates (M) associated with these fast winds. I restrict myself to the ‘observational’ determinations. Only at the end I will say something about the predictions of multi-scattering line radiation wind driven theory in connection with one best studied object: N6C 6543. This allows one to conclude that this theory may be the right explanation also for these winds.
