We present two-dimensional (2D) radiative transfer modelling of the Eta Carinae binary
system accounting for the presence of a wind–wind collision (WWC) cavity carved in the …

Recent work suggests that the mass-loss rate of the primary star ηA in the massive colliding
wind binary η Carinae dropped by a factor of 2–3 between 1999 and 2010. We present …

Context. Eta Carinae is a highly eccentric, massive binary system (semimajor axis~ 15.5 au)
with powerful stellar winds and a phase-dependent wind-wind collision (WWC) zone. The …

Eta Carinae is a massive interacting binary system shrouded in a complex circumstellar
environment whose evolution is the source of the long-term brightening observed during the …

Context. The η Carinae binary system hosts one of the most massive stars, which features
the highest known mass-loss rate. This dense wind encounters the much faster wind …

We investigate, using the modelling code shape, the three-dimensional structure of the
bipolar Homunculus nebula surrounding Eta Carinae as mapped by new ESO Very Large …

The binary η Carinae is the closest example of a very massive star, which may have formed
through a merger during its Great Eruption in the mid-19th century. We aimed to confirm and …

Context. Mass-loss rate is one of the most important stellar parameters. Mass loss via stellar
winds may influence stellar evolution and modifies stellar spectrum. Stellar winds of …

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

Eta Carinae, the closest, active, massive binary containing a highly unstable Luminous Blue
Variable, exhibits expanding, compressed wind shells, seen in emission, that are spatially …
