New Galactic Wolf-Rayet stars, and candidates. An annex to The VIIth Catalogue of Galactic Wolf-Rayet Stars (2006)

Van Der Hucht, Karel A.

This paper gathers, from the literature and private communication, 72 new Galactic Population I Wolf-Rayet stars and 17 candidate WCLd stars, recognized and/or discovered after the publication of The...

Constraining the mass transfer in massive binaries through progenitor evolution models of Wolf-Rayet+O binaries (2005)

Petrovic, Jelena, Langer, Norbert, Van Der Hucht, Karel A.

Since close WR+O binaries are the result of a strong interaction of both stars in massive close binary systems, they can be used to constrain the highly uncertain mass and angular momentum budget...

Quantitative analysis of WC stars: Constraints on neon abundances from ISO/SWS spectroscopy (2000)

Dessart, Luc, Crowther, Paul A., Hillier, D. John, Willis, Allan J., Morris, Patrick W., Van Der Hucht, Karel A.

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 structure lines...
