Abstract

This atlas contains a homogeneous set of optical spectrophotometric observations (3300 - 7300 Å) at moderate resolution (≡10 Å) of almost all WC and WO stars in the Galaxy, the LMC, and the SMC. The data are presented in the form of spectral tracings (in magnitude units) arranged by subtype, with no correction for interstellar reddening. A montage of prototype stars of each spectral class is also shown. Comprehensive line identifications are given for the optical lines of WC and WO spectra, with major contributions tabulated and unidentified lines noted. Fluxes of individual stars can be obtained from the Astronomical Data Center at NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center.
