Description

WR 102 is a star of the very rare spectral class WO, of which only nine are known so far. It belongs to the hottest known stars with a surface temperature of about 200 000 Kelvin. The surrounding nebula G2.4+1.4 probably does not originate from the WR star, but is formed by photo-ionization.

Oliver Schneider, Faried Abu-Salih and I work together as "DSI (Deep Sky Imaging) Team" at our observatory at the Rooisand Desert Ranch, Namibia.
