Scientific paper

The most massive stars born on the main sequence display pulsations that are excited by several processes: the epsilon process; a poorly investigated process that excites the extensive mass loss of Wolf Rayet stars; and the Eddington luminosity coupled with convection in the luminous blue variable stars. Here we discuss details involved in the luminous blue variables, and how their growing pulsations can produce outbursts that reduce the total mass of the star to a level where the pulsations no longer grow. This process limits the most massive stars possible in our galaxy to 100 solar masses or less.
