WR 119

WR 119 is a Wolf–Rayet star located about 10,500 light years away in the constellation Scutum.

[4] WR 119's properties are on the very edge of what may be possible for Wolf-Rayet stars, due to being so extremely dim.

Modelling its spectrum using PoWR gives a temperature of 45,000 K. Factoring in the distance used in that study of 3,500 pc, WR 119's luminosity is only 50,100 L☉, derived from Gaia DR2's parallax data.

WR 119 loses 10−5.13 M☉ (about 7.41×10−6 M☉) per year because of this stellar wind, which has a terminal velocity of 1,300 kilometres per second.

WR 119 also emits a lot of dust, hence the "d" at the end of its spectral type,[3] which may be an indication of binary status.
