Scientific paper

Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are massive stars with powerful, x-ray-emitting winds. Some single stars have been observed to have a periodic behavior. A model using a spiral structure in the winds has been created to explain what causes this variability. We used this model to examine the possibility of x-ray variation in single WR stars. We have then used the model to determine probabilities of finding previously unknown variation in the x-rays of single WR stars given a set of parameters that define the spiral structure and the properties of the wind.
