A Wolf-Rayet star is a massive star greater than 20 Suns, which is losing mass rapidly by means of a very strong stellar wind, with speeds up to 2000 km/s.
While our own Sun loses approximately 10−14 solar masses every year, Wolf-Rayet stars typically lose 10−5 solar masses a year.
Wolf-Rayet stars are very hot, with surface temperatures in the range of 25,000 Kelvin to 50,000 Kelvin.
The best known, and most visible, example is Gamma 2 Velorum which is a bright star visible to those located south of 40 degrees northern latitude.
