Revised Stellar Temperatures for Magellanic Cloud O Supergiants from FUSE and VLT-UVES Spectroscopy

P. A. Crowther, D. J. Hillier, C. J. Evans +3

We have undertaken quantitative analysis of four LMC and SMC O4--9.7 extreme supergiants using far-ultraviolet FUSE, ultraviolet IUE/HSTand optical VLT UVES spectroscopy. Extended,…

Overview of the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer Mission

H. W. Moos

The Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer satellite observes light in the far-ultraviolet spectral region, 905 - 1187 A with high spectral resolution. The instrument consists of f…

Far-UV FUSE spectroscopy of the OVI resonance doublet in Sand2 (WO)

Paul A. Crowther, A. W. Fullerton, D. J. Hillier +10

We present Far-Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) spectroscopy of Sand 2, a LMC WO-type Wolf-Rayet star, revealing the OVI resonance P Cygni doublet at 1032-38A. These data…

FUSE Observations of the Stellar Winds of Two O7 Supergiants in the Magellanic Clouds

A. W. Fullerton, P. A. Crowther, O. De Marco +10

We compare the stellar wind features in far-UV spectra of Sk -67 111, an O7 Ib(f) star in the LMC, with Sk 80, an O7 Iaf+ star in the SMC. The most striking differences are that Sk…

Quantitative analysis of WC stars: Constraints on neon abundances from ISO/SWS spectroscopy

Luc Dessart, Paul A. Crowther, D. John Hillier +3

Neon abundances are derived in four Galactic WC stars -- gamma Vel (WR11, WC8+O7.5III), HD156385 (WR90, WC7), HD192103 (WR135, WC8), and WR146 (WC5+O8) - using mid-infrared fine st…

Properties of Hot Stars in the Wolf-Rayet galaxy NGC5253 from ISO Spectroscopy

Paul A. Crowther, S. C. Beck, Allan J. Willis +3

ISO-SWS spectroscopy of the WR galaxy NGC5253 is presented, and analysed to provide estimates of its hot young star population. Our approach differs from previous investigations in…
