| Abstract: | We consider the mass-luminosity relation proposed for the Wolf-Rayet stars on the basis of detailed numerical models. It is found that the linear form of this relation can be explained in a straight-forward manner and is due to essentially three factors, (i) the WR stars are approximately chemically homogenous, (ii) the stars evolve under constant radiation pressure, and (iii) the stars evolve with high mass loss. |
