Descripción
High resolution spectroscopic observations have been obtained for the
ring nebulae around the galactic Wolf-Rayet stars WR 113 (CV Ser), WR
116, WR 128 (MR 95), WR 133, WR 134 (MR 100) and WR 153 using an echelle
spectrograph. Gaussian fit analysis of the emission lines has been
performed to establish the dynamical classification of the objects as
well as to study their ionization structure and excitation mechanism.
New wind blown bubbles have been discovered around WR 116 and WR 133
with expansion velocities of 50 and 25km/s respectively. The nebulae
around WR 113 and WR 153 are classified as shell-structured R_s_ objects
due to the absence of clear evidence of expanding motions in the line
profiles. The nebula associated with WR 128 is confirmed as R_s_-type as
in previous works, and its spectrum seems to be consistent with
photoionization as the main excitation mechanism without evidence of
shock contribution. The complex velocity field of the emitting gas
around WR 134 has been analysed. We have studied the ionization
structure and compared the kinematical data with the results of previous
work in order to determine the nature of each velocity component.
Finally, kinematic distances of the objects have been derived and
compared with previous photometric distances obtained for the central
stars.
