Abstract

High-resolution IRAS images, processed by HIRES, are ideal for the search of large, cold, fossil shell structures around Wolf-Rayet stars. In our preliminary effort, we have confirmed the large, 1.°5 — 2°, ring structures around NGC 6888 and RCW 58, which are clearly shown in the HIRES processed images. We interpret them as fossil bubbles blown by the main-sequence progenitors of the WR stars, although these large shells were previously suggested to be evolved supernova remnants.
