The Wolf-Rayet Star Population of the Milky Way Galaxy
Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are a late stage in the evolution of massive stars (M ≥ 25 M⊙), characterized by strong stellar winds (dM/dt ~ 10−5 M⊙/yr). Ionizing radiation from the central star heats the expanding outer envelope of material, leading to recombination emission lines of helium, carbon, nitrog...
