The outer wind of gamma Velorum

Fine-structure mid-infrared emission lines with critical densities in the regime 10 4 ≤ n crit ≤ 10 6cm -3 can be employed to probe the outflow from Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars at radii of ~10 15cm. Narrow-band mid-infrared imaging and spectroscopy of the nearest WR star to the Sun, γVelorum is analysed f...
