N Smith - The Fate of the Most Massive Stars, 2005 - adsabs.harvard.edu
I review recent observational results concerning the structure, kinematics, mass, and dust properties of the Homunculus nebula around η Carinae. The review is biased toward …
K Ishibashi - The Fate of the Most Massive Stars, 2005 - adsabs.harvard.edu
The discovery of the Little Homunculus in η Carinae has at least two implications:(1) the mini eruption of 1890 may indeed have produced bipolar ejecta;(2) the formation process of the …
NR Walborn - Eta Carinae and the Supernova Impostors, 2012 - Springer
The remarkable, interrelated stellar and nebular constituents of η Carinae's habitat, the giant Carina Nebula (NGC 3372), are reviewed. They are relevant to the interpretation of η Car …
KE Nielsen, TR Gull - Physica Scripta, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
Eta Carinae provides a unique example to investigate a massive star in a late evolutionary phase and how CNO-processed material is ejected and mixed with the interstellar medium …
The nature and origin of the molecular gas component located in the circumstellar vicinity of η Carinae are still far from being completely understood. Here, we present Atacama Large …
N Smith, KJ Brooks - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2007 - academic.oup.com
The first paper in this series took a direct census of energy input from the known OB stars in the Carina Nebula, and in this paper we study the global properties of the surrounding …
We present follow-up optical imaging and spectroscopy of one of the light echoes of η Carinae's nineteenth century Great Eruption discovered by Rest et al. By obtaining images …
F Hamann - The Fate of the Most Massive Stars, 2005 - adsabs.harvard.edu
Eta Carinae is a massive evolved star that is undergoing prodigious and highly convulsive mass loss. The Eta Carinae Treasury Team (PT. Kris Davidson) recently conducted an …
VV Dwarkadas, B Balick - The Astronomical Journal, 1998 - iopscience.iop.org
We have constructed an interacting winds scenario to account for the geometric and kinematic properties of the Homunculus in η Carinae as seen in recent Hubble Space …
