CO 2-1 Mapping of WR16 with AST/RO

Abstract Massive stars have profound effects on their surroundings, influencing them by their energetic stellar winds, and finally by supernova explosions. We present a CO 2-1 map of the surroundings of the Wolf-Rayet star WR16, taken with AST/RO at the South Pole, which shows some of these effects.
