<p>As far as I know, stars like RSGs and LBVs have the highest mass loss rates. There is Eta Carinae (0.00039 solar masses/yr), NML Cygni (0.00042 - 0.00048 solar masses/yr), WOH G64 (0.00072 solar masses/yr), IRAS 05280-6910 (0.00098 solar masses/yr) and finally IRAS 05346-6949 (0.0017 solar masses/yr). Are there any stars with similar or higher mass loss rates?</p>

Would be nice, if you could flesh-out your question with citing the sources of your information. you likely did not measure (all of) these yourself :) - and preferably also state which other sources you consulted, but which did not give you additional information.

Seems like there's Stephenson 2 DFK 49 - the mass-loss rate is 0.00077 solar masses/yr

As far as I know, stars like RSGs and LBVs have the highest mass loss rates. There is Eta Carinae (0.00039 solar masses/yr), NML Cygni (0.00042 - 0.00048 solar masses/yr), WOH G64 (0.00072 solar masses/yr), IRAS 05280-6910 (0.00098 solar masses/yr) and finally IRAS 05346-6949 (0.0017 solar masses/yr). Are there any stars with similar or higher mass loss rates?
