Meet an Astronomer | Wolf-Rayet Stars: Hot, Massive and Luminous with Kathryn Neugent

Wolf-Rayet stars are evolved, massive stars that help produce many of the heavy elements (such as Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen) as they end their lives as spectacular supernovae. Here, Kathryn Neugent will discuss their physical properties, evolution, and how we find them in our local universe. *This episode of Meet an Astronomer is sponsored by APS.
