Spectral analysis of Wolf-Rayet binary systems
Institute of Physics and Astronomy, University of Potsdam, Germany
A large fraction of the Wolf-Rayet stars reside in binary or multiple systems. While multiple systems provide information which is not accessible for single stars, their composite spectra are harder to analyze. For this reason, quantitative spectral analyses of WR binaries have been vastly excluded so far. We present first attempts in analyzing multiple systems using the non-LTE Potsdam Wolf-Rayet (PoWR) model atmosphere code.
