      abstract     = {A search for a new charged particle X with mass between 0.3
                      and 2.0 TeV decaying to a W boson and a photon is presented,
                      using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass
                      energy of 13 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment and
                      corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$.
                      Particle X has electric charge $\pm$1 and is assumed to have
                      spin 0. The search is performed using the electron and muon
                      decays of the W boson. No significant excess above the
                      predicted background is observed. The upper limit at 95\%
                      confidence level on the product of the production cross
                      section of the X and its branching fraction to a W boson and
                      a photon is found to be 94 (137) fb for a 0.3 TeV resonance
                      and 0.75 (0.81) fb for a 2.0 TeV resonance, for an X
                      width-to-mass ratio of 0.01\% (5\%). This search presents
                      the most stringent constraints to date on the existence of
                      such resonances across the probed mass range. A statistical
                      combination with an earlier study based on the hadronic
                      decay mode of the W boson is also performed, and the upper
                      limit at 95\% confidence level for a 2.0 TeV resonance is
                      reduced to 0.50 (0.63) fb for an X width-to-mass ratio of
                      0.01\% (5\%).},
