Abstract

AbstractWe have used continuous, high-precision, broadband visible photometry from the MOST satellite to trace wind structures in the WR component of CV Ser over more than a full orbit. Most of the small-scale light-curve variations are likely due to extinction by clumps along the line of sight to the O companion as it orbits and shines through varying columns of the WR wind. Parallel optical spectroscopy from the Mont Megantic Observatory is used to refine the orbital and wind-collision parameters, as well as to reveal line emission from clumps.
