We address the physical and kinematical properties of Wolf-Rayet [WR] central stars (CSs) and their host planetary nebulae (PNe). The studied sample comprises all [WR] CSs that...

We report the infrared (IR) properties of planetary nebulae (PNe) with Wolf-Rayet (WR) type and wels central stars known to date and compare them with the IR properties of a...

We obtain distances to 383 Galactic Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars from Gaia DR2 parallaxes and Bayesian methods, with a prior based on HII regions and dust extinction. Distances agree...

We present the results of a spectroscopic monitoring campaign of nine presumably single Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars, eight of type WC 9 and one WC 8d. We characterize their...

A new method of image subtraction is applied to images from a J, K, and narrow-band imaging survey of 300 deg2 of the plane of the Galaxy, searching for new Wolf-Rayet (WR)...

We present a narrow-band Very Large Telescope/Focal Reduced Low-dispersion Spectrograph #1 imaging survey of the SAB(rs)cd spiral galaxy NGC 5068, located at a distance of...

We present a VLT/FORS1 survey of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in the spiral galaxy NGC 1313. In total, 94 WR candidate sources have been identified from narrow-band imaging. Of these,...

Files br22rv.dat, br31rv.dat, br32rv.dat, ab8rv.dat, wr9rv.dat and wr30arv.dat contain spectroscopic radial velocity data of six Magellanic Cloud WC/WO class binary Wolf-Rayet...

Are WO-type Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in the final stage of massive star evolution before core-collapse? Although WC- and WO-type WRs have very similar spectra, WOs show a much...

We present the first visual orbit for the nitrogen-rich Wolf-Rayet binary, WR133 (WN5o+O9I), based on observations made with the CHARA Array and the MIRC-X combiner. This orbit...

We report the discovery of a new transition type Wolf-Rayet (W-R) WN/C star in the Galaxy. According to its coordinates RAJ2000=18:51:39.7,DEJ2000=-05:34:51.1, and the distance...

We report the serendipitous discovery of an object, UVQSJ060819.93-715737.4, with a spectrum dominated by extremely intense, narrow CII emission lines. The spectrum is similar...

We summarize the results of our 4yr survey searching for Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Small Magellanic Cloud. Over the course of this survey we...

Massive star evolutionary models generally predict the correct ratio of WC-type and WN-type Wolf-Rayet stars at low metallicities, but underestimate the ratio at higher (solar...

Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are evolved massive stars, and the relative number of WC-type and WN-type WRs should vary with the metallicity of the host galaxy, providing a sensitive...

Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are evolved massive stars, and the relative number of WC-type and WN-type WRs should vary with metallicity, providing a sensitive test of stellar...

The central parsec around the supermassive black hole in the Galactic center (GC) hosts more than 100 young and massive stars. Outside the central cusp (R~1") the majority of...

Using CCD UBV photometry and spectroscopy, we have investigated the stellar content of NGC 346, the brightest H II region in the SMC. Spectra of 42 stars confirm that 33 are of...

The evolved massive star populations of the Local Group galaxies are generally thought to be well understood. However, recent work has suggested that the Wolf-Rayet (WR) content...

Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars have strong, hot winds, with mass-loss rates at least a factor of 10 greater than their O-star progenitors, although their terminal wind speeds are...
