Abstract
Two-dimensional calculations of colliding stellar winds are performed for the case of a WR+O binary system. The effects of energy losses by free-free emission and Comptonization as well as those of stellar wind acceleration are considered. The results show that the interaction region must be a powerful X-ray source. The main dimensional parameters determining the X-ray spectrum and the luminosity of a WR+O binary system are the stellar mass losses, the wind velocities, the separation between the stars and their chemical composition (the X-ray emission characteristics of WN+O and WC+O systems are very different)
