He II ionizing rate in different types of objects coexisting in a superstar cluster older than ∼5 Myr.

Object Model( * ) Temperature log Q(He II)
[s−1]
WC star WC 19-18 T* = 200 kK 48.5
WNE star WNE 18-13 T* = 178 kK 48.4
SBB apec kT = 0.5 keV 49.7
SBB apec kT = 0.2 keV 50.2
SBB apec kT = 0.1 keV 51.0

Notes. The metallicity Z = 0.07 Z is adopted. Numbers are given for an X-ray luminosity LX(0.3−10.0 keV) = 1040 erg s−1 of the superbubble (SBB). ( * )For WR stars, T* is the stellar temperature, and the model number is according to the model grid computed with the Potsdam Wolf-Rayet (PoWR) model atmsophere code accessible at www.astro.physik.uni-potsdam.de/PoWR.
