The VIIth Catalog of Galactic Wolf-Rayet Stars

Listed in NASA Data Portal

The VIIth Catalogue of Galactic Population I Wolf-Rayet (WR) Stars provides improved coordinates, spectral types, and bv photometry of known WR stars and adds 71 new stars compared to the VIth Catalog.

Description

This census of galactic WR stars has reached 227 stars (226 entries in this catalog), comprising 127 WN stars, 87 WC stars, 10 WN/WC stars, and 3 WO stars. This includes 15 WNL and 11 WCL stars within 30 pc of the Galactic Center.

The catalog includes information on periodicity, binarity, terminal wind velocities, correlations with open clusters, OB associations, H I bubbles, H II regions, and ring nebulae, observed and dereddened narrow-band bv photometry, and distances, both heliocentric and galactocentric, and lists the references from which this information was obtained. This catalog was created by the HEASARC in April 2001, based on electronic versions of Tables 13, 14, 15, and 28 from the published paper containing the catalog which were directly supplied to the HEASARC by the author.
