Abstract

IRAS PSC, LRS, and CPC observations of Wolf-Rayet stars are used as diagnostics of hot circumstellar dust shells, cool dust in WR ring nebulae, the Ne/He abundance ratio, and the interstellar extinction. In two cases the IR energy distributions indicate WR planetary nucleus status rather than Population-I WR status.
