Gamma Velorum is a quadruple star system in the constellation Vela.This name is the Bayer designation for the star, which is Latinised from γ Velorum and abbreviated γ Vel.At a combined magnitude of +1.72, it is one of the brightest stars in the night sky, and contains by far the closest and brightest Wolf–Rayet star.
AH Velorum is a Cepheid variable located less than a degree to the northeast of Gamma. [19] A yellow-white supergiant of spectral type F7Ib-II, it pulsates between magnitudes 5.5 and 5.89 over 4.2 days. [20] Also lying close to Gamma, [21] V Velorum is a Cepheid of spectral type F6-F9II ranging from magnitude 7.2 to 7.9 over 4.4 days. [22]
WR 136, a WN6 star where the atmosphere shed during the red supergiant phase has been shocked by the hot, fast WR winds to form a visible bubble nebula. In 1867, using the 40 cm Foucault telescope at the Paris Observatory, astronomers Charles Wolf and Georges Rayet [1] discovered three stars in the constellation Cygnus (HD 191765, HD 192103 and HD 192641, now designated as WR 134, WR 135, and ...

WR 104 is a triple star system located about 2,580 parsecs (8,400 ly) from Earth. The primary star is a Wolf–Rayet star (abbreviated as WR), which has a B0.5 main sequence star in close orbit and another more distant fainter companion. The WR star is surrounded by a distinctive spiral Wolf–Rayet nebula, often referred to as a pinwheel ...
