Distinct Population of Wolf-Rayet Stars in the Low-Metallicity Galaxy NGC 6822. Quantitative analysis of optical and UV spectra of the complete sample
Context: Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are particularly rare in low-metallicity galaxies and remain poorly understood. Detailed studies of the presumably complete population of WR stars in the nearby Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) galaxy led to perplexing results. Aims: The nearby galaxy NGC 6822 has a similar metallicity to the...
