XMM-Newton high-resolution x-ray spectroscopy of the Wolf-Rayet object WR25 (WN6HA+04F)
Abstract
We report the analysis of the X-ray spectrum of the Wolf-Rayet star WR 25, observed by RGS and EPIC-MOS on board XMM-Newton. Temperatures up to 40 MK have been determined. Strong absorption, exceeding the value due to the Inter Stellar Medium (ISM) has been detected and assigned to the dense stellar wind.
