X-ray Emissions of Wolf Rayet Stars.

Abstract

Using a program called Spect 3D, control models of O-stars, specifically Zeta Puppis, were created and then compared with models of Wolf-Rayet stars. The models were made in a similar fashion comprising a three region shell surrounding the star consisting of a warm region followed by the shock region of the stellar wind and finishing with another warm region. The X-ray emissions of the winds were compared for these two types of stars.
