Abstract

Using a significantly revised non-LTE radiative transfer code that allows for the effects of line blanketing by He, C, O, Si, and Fe, we have performed a detailed analysis of the Galactic Wolf-Rayet (W-R) star HD 165763 (WR 111, WC5). Standard W-R models consistently overestimate the strength of the electron scattering wings, especially on strong lines, so we have considered models where the wind is both homogeneous and clumped. The deduced stellar parameters for HD 165763 are as follows:
