loving you always ♥
nothing much to blog these few weeks. just some facts..
Wolf-Rayet stars (often referred to as WR stars) are evolved, massive
stars (over 20
solar masses), and are losing their mass rapidly by means of a very strong
stellar wind, with speeds up to 2000 km/s. While our own
sun loses 10
-14 of its own mass on a yearly basis, a Wolf-Rayet star loses 10
-5 solar masses a year. These stars are also very hot: their temperature are in the range of 25,000 K to 50,000 K.
