Radial pulsations of Wolf-Rayet stars and the problem of mass loss in them

In order to study the problem of mass loss by Wolf-Rayet stars, we carried out numerical simulations of non-linear pulsations of these objects. Although our computations do not show direct dynamical mass loss, qualitative estimates show that certain as yet unobserved pulsations could in principle, create conditions facilitating mass outflows from Wolf-Rayet stars.
