Sv. Marchenko et Afj. Moffat, TIME-FREQUENCY ANALYSIS OF 3 STRONGLY VARIABLE WOLF-RAYET STARS - WR-6, WR-134, AND WR-123, The Astrophysical journal, 499(2), 1998, pp. 195-198
We apply the technique of time-frequency analysis to look for temporal
changes in the variability power spectrum of the three strongly varia
ble Wolf-Rayet stars, WR 6, WR 134, and WR 123, for which relatively l
ong strings of homogeneous photometry are available. The observed chan
ges of the power spectra may be related to the gradual restructuring o
f the stellar wind in the presence of ''active'' regions and/or nonrad
ial pulsations or, in the case of the long-term variability of WR 134,
caused by the presence of a low-mass companion.
