Scientific paper

It is shown that L-asterisk/CV-infinity is not the maximum possible mass loss rate in case of dust driven winds, contrary to what has often been assumed. (L-asterisk is the stellar luminosity, v-infinity the terminal velocity of the wind). On the basis of a simple analytical approximation a relation is derived which shows that for heavily obscured IR-objects the mass loss rate has to exceed the above 'limit value'.
