Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of the Massive LMC Multiple Systems Sk-67^0m#circ;18 (Br 5) and HD 36402 (Br 31)

Koenigsberger, G.; Auer, L. H.; Moffat, A. F. J.

Following previous IUE-based spectroscopic studies of WR+O binaries in the Galaxy and in the SMC, we present a similar study of the two systems, Br 5 [O3 If^*(+O) + O8-B0 I(+OB?)] and Br 31 [WC4(+O?) + O8 I:] in the Large Magellanic Cloud. We detect wind eclipse effects in the WC4+O (P = 3.033 d) pair in Br 31 similar to, but weaker than those obs…
