Possible implications of mass accretion in Eta Carinae

A Kashi, N Soker - New Astronomy, 2009 - Elsevier
We apply the previously suggested accretion model for the behavior of the super-massive
binary system η Car close to periastron passages. In that model it is assumed that for∼ 10 …

Using X-ray observations to explore the binary interaction in Eta Carinae

A Kashi, N Soker - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2009 - academic.oup.com
We study the usage of the X-ray light curve, column density towards the hard X-ray source,

In hot pursuit of the hidden companion of η Carinae: An X-ray determination of the wind parameters

JM Pittard, MF Corcoran - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2002 - aanda.org
We present X-ray spectral fits to a recently obtained Chandra grating spectrum of η Carinae,
one of the most massive and powerful stars in the Galaxy and which is strongly suspected to …

Accretion onto the companion of η carinae during the spectroscopic event. II. X-ray emission cycle

M Akashi, N Soker, E Behar - The Astrophysical Journal, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
We calculate the X-ray luminosity and light curve for the stellar binary system η Car for the
entire orbital period of 5.54 yr. By using a new approach we find, as suggested in previous …

Detection of a hot binary companion of η Carinae

RC Iping, G Sonneborn, TR Gull… - The Astrophysical …, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
We report the detection of a hot companion of η Carinae using high-resolution spectra (905-
1180 Å) obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) satellite …
