Scientific paper

We present an analysis of the intensive visual-broadband photometric monitoring of the highly variable WN8 Wolf-Rayet star WR123, obtained by the MOST satellite. The Canadian space telescope observed WR123 for 38 days non-stop during June/July 2004. To complement previous investigations (Lefèvre et al. 2005), we show spectroscopic data taken a year before the MOST observations and a supplementary analysis of the dataset. This work shows that it is possible to fit quite reliably this supposedly unstable signal with a few sinusoidal components and may lead us to new insights in the variability of Wolf-Rayet stars.
