BAT99-7 is a WN-type Wolf-Rayet star located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, in the constellation of Dorado, about 160,000 light years away. The star has a spectrum containing extremely broad emission lines, and is the prototype for the "round line" stars, Wolf-Rayet stars whose spectra are characterized by strong and broad emission lines with round line profiles. The broad emission lines hint at an extremely high temperature of nearly 160,000 Kelvin, which would make it the hottest of all WN stars with known temperatures, as well as an extraordinarily large mass loss rate for a Wolf-Rayet star in the LMC, at 10−4.48 M☉/yr, which means that every 30,200 years, the star loses 1 solar mass worth of mass.[3]
