Hydrodynamical mass-loss rates for Very Massive Stars II. New theoretical mass-loss predictions at solar metallicity (Z = 0.02)

The evolutionary pathways and ultimate fates of very massive stars are governed primarily by mass loss through radiatively driven winds. We present a new theoretical mass-loss prescription for (very) massive stars, capturing the complex dependence on the Eddington parameter $Γ_e$, luminosity, temper
