Abstract:
We present a new compilation of Wolf-Rayet (WR) galaxies and
extra-galactic HII regions showing broad He II λ4686 emission
drawn from the literature. Relevant information on the presence of
other broad emission lines (N III λ4640, C IV λ5808 and
other) from WR stars of WN and WC subtypes, and other existing broad
nebular lines is provided. In total we include 139 known WR galaxies.
Among these, 57 objects show both broad He II λ4686 and C IV
λ5808 features. In addition to the broad (stellar) He II
λ4686 emission, a nebular He II component is well established
(suspected) in 44 (54) objects. We find 19 extra-galactic HII regions
without WR detections showing nebular He II λ4686 emission. The
present sample can be used for a variety of studies on massive stars,
interactions of massive stars with the ISM, stellar populations,
starburst galaxies etc. The data is accessible electronically and will
be updated periodically
