ABSTRACT
We report on neon abundances derived from Spitzer high resolution spectral data of eight
Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars using the forbidden line of [Ne III] 15.56 microns. Our targets include
four WN stars of subtypes 4–7, and four WC stars of subtypes 4–7. We derive ion fraction
abundances γ of Ne2+ for the winds of each star. The ion fraction abundance is a product of the
ionization fraction Qi in stage i and the abundance by number AE of element E relative to all
nuclei. Values generally consistent with solar are obtained for the WN stars, and values in excess
of solar are obtained for the WC stars.
Subject headings: stars: abundances — stars: mass-loss — stars: winds — stars: Wolf-Rayet
1. Introduction
Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars continue to attract the
attention of many researchers because they are
evolved massive stars that are useful for test-
ing stellar evolutionary models and because they
have extremely massive winds (Lamers et al. 1991;
Meynet Maeder 2003). We report on infrared
observations of [Ne III] 15.56 microns for eight
WR stars, each of a different spectral subtype (see
Tab. 1), obtained with the Spitzer Infrared Spec-
trograph (IRS) using the Short-High (SH) mode in
the 10–20 micron band. Details about the Spitzer
telescope and particularly the IRS instrument can
be found in Houck et al. (2004). Our program
targeted four nitrogen-rich WN stars, and four
