Evolution of Wolf-Rayet stars in binary systems: An analysis of the mass and orbital-eccentricity distributions

We have undertaken a statistical study of the component mass ratios and the orbital eccentricities of WR + O close binary, detached main-sequence (DMS), contact early-type (CE), and semidetached (SD) systems. A comparison of the characteristics of WR + O systems and of DMS, CE, and SD systems has en...
