Extended Data Fig. 3

Observed spectral and photometric data (blue and green) for M31WR 99-1 over-plotted with the best-fitting atmosphere model (red). The uppermost panel shows the spectral energy distribution while the lower panels compare the normalized observed and model spectrum the UV and optical regime. For the UV (secondmost upper panel), no observation is available. The third panel contains also a zoom-in around the N V 4933/44 line compared to models with different nitrogen abundance (indicated by different colors and line styles). The presence (or absence) of major spectral lines is indicated by black vertical dashes annotated with the corresponding ion.
