Line Luminosities of Galactic and Magellanic Cloud Wolf-Rayet stars

Paul A. Crowther, G. Rate, Joachim M. Bestenlehner

We provide line luminosities and spectroscopic templates of prominent optical emission lines of 133 Galactic Wolf-Rayet stars by exploiting Gaia DR3 parallaxes and optical spectrop…

Unlocking Galactic Wolf-Rayet stars with DR2 II: Cluster and Association membership

Gemma Rate, Paul A. Crowther, Richard J. Parker

Galactic Wolf-Rayet (WR) star membership of star forming regions can be used to constrain the formation environments of massive stars. Here, we utilise DR2 parallax…

Unlocking Galactic Wolf-Rayet stars with DR2 I: Distances and absolute magnitudes

Gemma Rate, Paul A. Crowther

We obtain distances to 383 Galactic Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars from DR2 parallaxes and Bayesian methods, with a prior based on H regions and du…

Investigating the origin of the spectral line profiles of the Hot Wolf-Rayet Star WR2

A. -N. Chené, N. St-Louis, A. F. J. Moffat +12

The hot WN star WR2 (HD6327) has been claimed to have many singular characteristics. To explain its unusually rounded and relatively weak emission line profiles, it has been propos…

Probing the rotational velocity of Galactic WO stars with spectropolarimetry

H. F. Stevance, R. Ignace, P. A. Crowther +3

Oxygen sequence Wolf-Rayet stars (WO) are thought to be the final evolution phase of some high mass stars, as such they may be the progenitors of type Ic SNe as well as potential p…
