Spectral energy distribution (SED) for the WC6 star WR 5. Flux-calibrated observations (blue thin and noisy line) are from IUE in the UV, Torres & Massey (1987) in the optical, and 2MASS (J, H, and K photometry) in the near-infrared. The synthetic spectrum is plotted as a red thick line. The continuum-only model flux is also shown for comparison. The model that fits the normalized line spectrum best has been selected from the WC standard grid (T_∗ = 79.4   kK, log R_t/R_⊙ = 0.5).
