Table 3: Stellar parameters of the nine models for which we determined the maximum mass-loss rates. $\alpha $ and k are taken from Pauldrach et al. (1986). The sonic radius equals 1.01 times the stellar radius. The critical velocity at the sonic point, $v_{\rm lim}$, is expressed in km s-1 while  $\sigma _{\rm e}$ is expressed in cm2 g-1. The last two columns give the ratio of the maximum mass-loss rates for non-rotating stars that we obtain with our formalism and the values derived from respectively classical CAK theory and the mass-loss recipe provided by Vink et al. (2000).
