The very massive star system η Carinae exhibits regular 5.54 yr (2024 d) period disruptive events in wavebands ranging from the radio to X-ray. There is a growing consensus that …
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 …
