Abstract

The absolute measurements of fluxes in the region ${\lambda}{\lambda}3,100-8,090\;{\AA}$ emitted in the visible continua of some galactic Wolf-Rayet stars are presented. These observations were made by a two-channel scanner which was built up cooperatively by the Observatoire of Lyon and the Laboratoire d'Astronomie Spatiale. The fluxes, dereddened from those data, were combined with IUE and ANS ultraviolet measurements. These fluxes were compared with those of LTE plane paralleled model atmospheres of Kurucz (1979) and were also integrated in order to derive effective temperatures and bolometric corrections for the program stars. The derived effective temperatures and bolometric corrections for the stars were in the range of $25,000\;K{\sim}32,700\;K$, and of $-2.5\;mag.{\sim}-3.7\;mag.$, respectively.
