Abstract:

ISO-SWS spectra of seven late-type galactic Wolf-Rayet stars are discussed. A high resolution spectrum (2.3 -- 29.6 m, ~ 820 - 1700) of the WC8 star WR11 (gamma² Vel) is shown and its Ne abundance is discussed. Medium resolution spectra ( ~ 250 - 600) of the WC8-9 stars WR48a, WR98a, WR104, WR112 and WR118 show the broad circumstellar heated amorphous carbon dust emission feature and interstellar silicate and hydrocarbon absorption features.

Keywords:
stars: Wolf-Rayet - interstellar medium: extinction - infrared: spectroscopy
