AI总结:

本文总结了Wolf-Rayet星在银河系及近邻星系中的主要观测特性,并探讨了其结构与形成机制中尚待解决的开放问题。

摘要:

大质量Wolf-Rayet (WR)恒星构成一个光谱级别,其特征是高温(Teff > ~30 kK)和强大且快速的星风。富氢WR星是现存质量最大的恒星(M > ~100 Msun),而经典WR星是贫氢的演化大质量恒星,揭示了核心坍缩前大质量恒星的最终演化阶段。它们在辐射和机械反馈方面主导着整个恒星族群,并被认为会产生强大的瞬变现象,如剥离氢的超新星(type Ibc SNe)和长伽马射线暴(LGRBs)。在本章中,我们总结了银河系及附近星系中WR星族的主要观测特性,并讨论了在理解其结构与形成方面存在的开放问题。

英文摘要:

Massive Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars comprise a spectroscopic class characterized by high temperatures (Teff > ~30 kK) and powerful and rapid stellar winds. Hydrogen-rich WR stars represent the most massive stars in existence (M > ~100 Msun), while classical WR stars are hydrogen-depleted, evolved massive stars which probe the final evolutionary stages of massive stars prior to core collapse. They dominate entire stellar populations in terms of radiative and mechanical feedback, and are thought to give rise to powerful transients such as hydrogen-stripped supernovae (type Ibc SNe) and long-duration gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs). In this chapter, we summarize the main observed properties of WR populations in our Galaxy and nearby galaxies, and discuss open problems in our understanding of their structure and formation
