Detectability of Wolf-Rayet stars in M33 and Beyond the Local Group
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 July 2017
Abstract
To understand how complete our surveys of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars can be with the current generation of telescopes, we study images of M33, a galaxy with a nearly complete WR catalogue, and degrade them to investigate the detectability of WRs out to 30Mpc. We lose almost half of our sample at 4.2Mpc, and at 30Mpc we detect only those WRs in bright regions.
