Scientific paper

The observed X-ray luminosities of WR + OB binary systems are analyzed, and it is shown that up to 80 percent of the mass loss of the WR star consists in the ejection of a number of dense clouds of matter. These clouds easily penetrate through the shock wave produced by the continuous component of the wind of the WR star and are decelerated in the photosphere of the OB star, where the X-radiation is converted to the optical range.
