TY - CONF A1 - Liermann, A. A1 - Hamann, Wolf-Rainer T1 - Clumping in Galactic WN stars : a comparison of mass loss rates from UV/optical & radio diagnostics N2 - The mass loss rates and other parameters for a large sample of Galactic WN stars have been revised by Hamann et al. (2006), using the most up-to date Potsdam Wolf-Rayet (PoWR) model atmospheres. For a sub-sample of these stars exist measurements of their radio free-free emission. After harmonizing the adopted distance and terminal wind velocities, we compare the mass loss rates obtained from the two diagnostics. The differences are discussed as a possible consequence of different clumping contrast in the line-forming and radio-emitting regions.
