Accretion of dense clumps in the periastron passage of η Carinae

MS Akashi, A Kashi, N Soker - New Astronomy, 2013 - Elsevier
We perform 3D hydrodynamical numerical simulations of the winds interaction process in
the massive binary system η Carinae, and find the secondary star to accrete mass from the …

Accretion at the periastron passage of Eta Carinae

A Kashi - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017 - academic.oup.com
We present high-resolution numerical simulations of the colliding wind system η Carinae,
showing accretion on to the secondary star close to periastron passage. Our …

Simulating the response of the secondary star of Eta Carinae to mass accretion at periastron passage

A Kashi - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 - academic.oup.com
We use high-resolution 3D hydrodynamical simulations to quantify the amount of mass
accreted on to the secondary star of the binary system Eta Carinae, exploring two sets of …

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 …

Wind-wind collision in the η Carinae binary system: a shell-like event near periastron

D Falceta-Gonçalves, V Jatenco-Pereira… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2005 - academic.oup.com
The exact nature of η Carinae is still an open issue. Strict periodicity in the light curves at
several wavelengths seem to point to a binary system, but the observed radial velocities …

NICER X-Ray Observations of Eta Carinae during Its Most Recent Periastron Passage

D Espinoza-Galeas, MF Corcoran… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We report high-precision X-ray monitoring observations in the 0.4–10 keV band of the
luminous, long-period colliding wind binary Eta Carinae, up to and through its most recent X …

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 …

Numerical simulations of wind–equatorial gas interaction in η Carinae

D Tsebrenko, M Akashi, N Soker - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
We perform 3D gas-dynamical simulations and show that the asymmetric morphology of the
blue-and red-shifted components of the outflow at hundreds of astronomical units from the …

Spiraling out of control: three-dimensional hydrodynamical modeling of the colliding winds in η carinae

ER Parkin, JM Pittard, MF Corcoran… - The Astrophysical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
Three-dimensional adaptive mesh refinement hydrodynamical simulations of the wind–wind
collision between the enigmatic supermassive star η Car and its mysterious companion star …

Accretion by the secondary in η Carinae during the spectroscopic event. I. Flow parameters

N Soker - The Astrophysical Journal, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
We examine the influence of the gravity of the companion (the secondary) to the massive
primary star η Carinae on the winds blown by the primary and the secondary. The two winds …
