The first chapter introduces Eta Carinae, highlighting why it is so interesting and worth
studying, while Chapter 2 reviews the theory of radiation-driven winds from hot, massive (> …

We present results from a series of new full-3D Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH)
simulations of the colliding stellar winds in the massive binary Eta Carinae. The radius of the …

Abstract An extremely luminous (> 5 x 10^ 6 L_Sun) colliding wind binary with a highly
eccentric (e~ 0.9), 5.54-year orbit, total mass of at least 110 M_Sun, and distance of~ 2.3 …

Eta Carinae is an ideal astrophysical laboratory for studying massive binary interactions and
evolution, and stellar wind–wind collisions. Recent three-dimensional (3D) simulations set …

Eta Carinae is a peculiar object that allow us to study, among other topics, massive binary
interactions and evolution and binary colliding winds. In order to improve our knowledge of …

The extremely massive (> 90 M o) and luminous (= 5× 10 6 L o) star Eta Carinae, with its
spectacular bipolar “Homunculus” nebula, comprises one of the most remarkable and …

Eta Carinae is one of the most luminous and mysterious known binary star systems. Located
only 7,500 light years away, multi-wavelength observations reveal that Eta Carinae is a …

We present results of full 3D hydrodynamical and radiative transfer simulations of the
colliding stellar winds in the massive binary system Eta Carinae. We accomplish this by …

The highly eccentric binary system Eta Carinae (η Car) shows numerous time-variable
emission and absorption features. These observational signatures are the result of …

Abstract Observations of Eta Carina have been combined with three-dimensional smoothed-
particle hydrodynamic (3DSPH) simulations providing considerable insight on this> 100 Mo …
