Scientific paper

From the literature the authors collected values for the rate of mass loss for 271 stars, nearly all of population I and of spectral types O through M. Rates of stellar mass loss -Mdetermined according to six different methods were compared and appear to yield the same result per star within the limits of errors. The M-data can well be represented by one empirical interpolation formula, as a function of the effective temperature Teff and luminosity L. In addition the authors studied some groups of other stars: fast rotators and chemically evolved stars. The chemically evolved stars have rates of mass loss which are larger than those of "normal" stars occupying the same positions in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.
