We report on a re-analysis of the Galactic O-type star sample presented by Puls et al. (1996) by means of non-LTE model atmospheres including line-blocking and line-blanketing. In particular, we concentrate on the question concerning the dependence of the wind-momentum luminosity relation (WLR) on luminosity class. Owing to the line-blanketing, the derived effective temperatures become significantly lower when compared to previous results, whereas the so-called ‘modified wind-momentum rates’ remain roughly at their former values. Therefore, we obtain a new WLR for O-type stars. By comparing these ‘observational’ results with new theoretical predictions and simulations, we conclude that the Hα forming region for objects with Hα in emission might be considerably clumped and thus a larger mass-loss rate than actually present is mimicked. We suggest that the previously found dependence of the WLR on luminosity class is an artefact.
