Scientific paper

We present radiation-driven wind models for Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs)
and predict their mass-loss rates. A comparison between our predictions and the
observations of AG Car shows that the variable mass loss behaviour of LBVs is
due the recombination/ionisation of Fe IV/III and Fe III/II. We also derive a
present-day mass of 35 Msun for AG Car.
