Abstract: | We have obtained ISO SWS spectroscopy of WR 146 (WC6+O) covering the wavelength range 2.6-20 µm. WC6 wind emission is observed in numerous lines of He II and C IV, as well as in the [Ne III] 15.5 µm line, but not in [Ne II] 12.81 or [Ne V] 14.32 µm. An analysis of these spectra (and complementary radio and optical data) yields for the WC6 star: v∞ = 2700 km s-1; M=2.6×10-5M⊙yr-1; C/He = 0.15; and a neon abundance bound of 3.4×10-3≤Ne/He≤6.8×10-3. The neon abundance is close to that predicted in stellar evolution models of WC stars. |
