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 are indicative of a WR-planetary-nebula status rather than a Population-I WR status.
The Infrared Astronomical Satellite was developed and operated by the Netherlands Agency for Aerospace Programs (NIVR), the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the U.K. Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC).
