Puzzling X-rays from the new colliding wind binary WR65

L. M. Oskinova, W. -R. Hamann

We report the discovery of variability in the X-ray emission from the Wolf-Rayet type star WR 65. Using archival Chandra data spanning over 5 yr we detect changes of the X-ray flux…

X-raying clumped stellar winds

L. M. Oskinova, W. -R. Hamann, A. Feldmeier

X-ray spectroscopy is a sensitive probe of stellar winds. X-rays originate from optically thin shock-heated plasma deep inside the wind and propagate outwards throughout absorbing…

Revised element abundances for WC-type central stars

H. Todt, G. Gräfener, W. -R. Hamann

According to previous spectral analyses of Wolf-Rayet type central stars, late [WC] subtypes show systematically higher carbon-to-helium abundance ratios than early [WC] subtypes.…

Are Wolf-Rayet winds driven by radiation?

G. Gräfener, W. -R. Hamann

Recent results with the Potsdam Wolf-Rayet (PoWR) models have shown that Wolf-Rayet mass loss can be explained by radiative wind driving. An inspection of the galactic WR sample, h…

The Masses of Late-Type WN Stars

G. Gräfener, W. -R. Hamann

We present recent results for galactic WNL stars, obtained with the new Potsdam Wolf-Rayet (PoWR) hydrodynamic model atmospheres. Based on a combination of stellar wind modeling an…

Are WNL stars tracers of high metallicity?

G. Gräfener, W. -R. Hamann

We present new atmosphere models for Wolf-Rayet stars that include a self-consistent solution of the wind hydrodynamics. We demonstrate that the formation of optically thick WR win…
