• Runaway stars as progenitors of supernovae and gamma-ray bursts (2011, methodology): “Using the catalogue of van der Hucht (2001) which lists the masses and periods of many WR binaries we find that, without black hole kicks, many of these binaries are difficult to unbind because the O star is the more massive of the two stars.”
• Constraints on the Progenitor of Cassiopeia A (2005, background): “Typical extinction measurements toward WN stars possess visual extinctions which range all the way down to Av 1, suggesting that most of the extinction arises from the Galactic ISM rather than an intrinsic source (van der Hucht 2001).”
• The Bubbling Galactic Disk. II. The Inner 20° (2007, background): “A search of current catalogs of SNRs (Green 2004), PNe (Kerber et al. 2003), WR stars (van der Hucht 2001, 2006), and open clusters (Dutra et al. 2003; Bica et al. 2003) found no positional coincidences with any of the bubbles in GII.”
• The Galactic WN stars. Spectral analyses with line-blanketed model atmospheres versus stellar evolut (2006, methodology): “The VIIth Catalogue of Galactic Wolf-Rayet Stars (van der Hucht 2001, hereafter “the WR Catalog”) lists 227 stars in total.”
• Gaia Universe model snapshot - A statistical analysis of the expected contents of the Gaia catalogue (2012, methodology): “WR densities are computed following the observed statistics from the VIIth catalogue of Galactic Wolf-Rayet stars of van der Hucht (2001).”
• Rotational mixing in massive binaries - Detached short-period systems (2009, background): “Examples of observed short-period Wolf-Rayet binaries with a main-sequence companion are CQ Cep8, CX Cep9, HD 19357610 and the very massive system HD 31188411 (van der Hucht 2001).”
• Massive Stars in the Local Group: Implications for Stellar Evolution and Star Formation (2003, background): “WRs IN THE MILKY WAY About one third of the 227 WRs known in the Milky Way (van der Hucht 2001) were found by Cannon as part of the HD catalog; the rest were mostly found accidentally by spectroscopy in interesting regions (such as the Galactic Center) rather than as part of directed searches.”

• Stellar and wind properties of LMC WC4 stars A metallicity dependence for Wolf-Rayet mass-loss rates ? (2002, background): “It is well known that WC4 stars are relatively rare in the Milky Way, with only 5 known out of 87 WC stars (van der Hucht 2001), whilst they dominate the LMC carbon sequence with 15 known out of 23 WC stars (Breysacher et al. 1999).”
• THE GALACTIC O-STAR SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEY (GOSSS). II. BRIGHT SOUTHERN STARS (2013, background): “Those numbers can be compared with the 6500 predicted Galactic WR stars (van der Hucht 2001; Shara et al. 2009) and are roughly consistent in terms of the expected evolutionary paths and relative lifetimes of each phase.”
• Grids of model spectra for WN stars, ready for use (2004, methodology): “From the compilation by van der Hucht (2001) we adopt the following criteria.”
• On the massive stellar population of the super star cluster Westerlund 1 (2005, background): “Indeed, van der Hucht (2001) demonstrates that with the exception of the latest WNLs, WRs of both flavours have absolute visual magnitudes Mv > −5 mag – so undetectable in our current data7.”
• PS1-10jh: THE DISRUPTION OF A MAIN-SEQUENCE STAR OF NEAR-SOLAR COMPOSITION (2013, background): “The known candidates are SdB/SdO stars (∼106 in the MW, Han et al. 2003), helium WDs (∼107 in the MW, Nelemans et al. 2001), and WR stars (∼104 in the MW, van der Hucht 2001).”
• Core-collapse explosions of Wolf–Rayet stars and the connection to Type IIb/Ib/Ic supernovae (2011, background): “Compared to the progenitor W-R stars, which emit the bulk of the radiation in the UV, the post-breakout plateau shouldbe ∼ >10 mag brighter in theV -band (van der Hucht 2001; Crowther 2007; this estimate accounts for the large bolometric corretion of W-R stars).”
• Forming short-period Wolf–Rayet X-ray binaries and double black holes through stable mass transfer (2017, methodology): “(In the VIIth catalogue of WR stars (van der Hucht 2001) there are 3 more systems (WR30, 113 and 141) that will evolve similarly and leave wide WR X-ray binaries and wide double BHs).”
• The Galactic WC stars Stellar parameters from spectral analyses indicate a new evolutionary sequence (2012, methodology): “For early subtypes, Ov5590 Å is also considered (van der Hucht 2001).”
• γ2 Velorum: orbital solution and fundamental parameter determination with SUSI (2007, methodology): “Using the Galactic coordinates of γ2 Vel in van der Hucht (2001) (and a Sun-Galactic centre distance of 8 kpc) the revised Galactocentric distances are RGC = 7.97 kpc and zGC = −45 pc.”
