Constraints on Clumps in the Representative Wind of the WN8 Wolf-Rayet star HD96548 = WR40 with Simultaneous Broadband Light and Linear-Polarisation Variability
Richard Ignace, Anthony Moffat, Carmelle Robert +1
We report precision ground-based broadband optical intensity and linear-polarisation light-curves for the sky's brightest WN8 star, WR40. WN8 stars are notorious for their high lev…
Clumping in the Winds of Wolf-Rayet Stars
André-Nicolas Chené, Nicole St-Louis, Anthony F. J. Moffat +1
We attempt to determine the driver for clumping in hot-star winds by extending the measure of the spectral variability level of Galactic Wolf-Rayet stars to by far the hottest know…
The chaotic wind of WR 40 as probed by BRITE
Tahina Ramiaramanantsoa, Richard Ignace, Anthony F. J. Moffat +9
Among Wolf-Rayet stars, those of subtype WN8 are the intrinsically most variable. We have explored the long-term photometric variability of the brightest known WN8 star, WR 40, thr…
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…
The Wolf-Rayet binaries of the nitrogen sequence in the Large Magellanic Cloud: spectroscopy, orbital analysis, formation, and evolution
T. Shenar, D. P. Sablowski, R. Hainich +11
Massive Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars dominate the radiative and mechanical energy budget of galaxies and probe a critical phase in the evolution of massive stars prior to core-collapse. I…
No detection of Strange Mode Pulsations in massive prime candidate
André-Nicolas Chené, Nicole St-Louis, Anthony F. J. Moffat +2
The most violent strange mode pulsations (SMPs) are expected in classical WR stars, the bare, compact helium-burning cores of evolved massive stars, where SMPs are predicted to man…
