Abstract

We present simplified one-dimensional numerical models for stellar wind bubbles (SWB), investigating two aspects: the effect of H-deficient winds, such as observed in [WR]-type centrals stars of planetary nebulae (PN) and massive Wolf-Rayet stars (WR), and the X-ray spectra produced by SWBs. For the H-deficient winds, we find that the extra cooling caused by the extremely high metal abundances influences the structure and evolution of their SWBs, although they remain mostly energy-driven. For the X-ray spectra we find that a standard SWB model cannot explain the observed spectra, and some extra physical effect is needed. We show that thermal conduction with low efficiency can be this effect.
