Constraints on wind clumping from the empirical mass-loss vs. metallicity relation for early-type stars

We present the latest results on the observational dependence of the mass-loss rate in stellar winds of O and early-B stars on the metal content of their atmospheres, and compare these with predictions. Absolute empirical rates for the mass loss of stars brighter than 10$^{5.2} L_{odot}$, based on H...
