Possible association of a WC-OVI star with an active site of star formation.
Abstract
The possibility of the association of the WC4pec or WC5pec star ST3 with the active site of star formation ON2 is discussed. It is pointed out that the association of Wolf-Rayet stars of certain type with very young regions may give a hint that they had very massive progenitors.
