摘要：
WR galaxies are characterized by broad emission features at 4686 A and occasionally at 4640 A and 5805 A. The features are attributed to stellar emission from a large population of WR stars. The presence of WR stars allows a determination of the age of the starburst. In a few WR galaxies the 4640 emission line has been measured to be as large or larger than the He II 4686 line. We demonstrate that a 4640/4686 ratio larger than unity cannot be produced by any known population of WR stars and discuss the implications for the interpretation of the star formation histories in WR galaxies.
