A Case Study in Astronomical 3D Printing: The Mysterious η Carinae

TI Madura - Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) printing moves beyond interactive 3D graphics and
provides an excellent tool for both visual and tactile learners, since 3D printing can now …

Onthe changes in the physical properties of the ionized region around the Weigelt structures in η Carinae over the 5.54-yr spectroscopic cycle

Prediction for the He iλ10830 Å absorption wing in the coming event of η Carinae

A Kashi, N Soker - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2009 - academic.oup.com
We propose an explanation for the puzzling appearance of a wide blue absorption wing in
the He iλ10830 Å P Cygni profile of the massive binary star η Car several months before …

N ii λλ5668–5712: A NEW CLASS OF SPECTRAL FEATURES IN ETA CARINAE

A Mehner, K Davidson, GJ Ferland - The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We report on the N ii λλ5668–5712 emission and absorption lines in the spectrum of η
Carinae. Spectral lines of the stellar wind regions can be classified into four physically …

Wind collision and accretion simulations of the massive binary system HD 166734

A Kashi - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 - academic.oup.com
ABSTRACT I have run hydrodynamic simulations that follow the colliding wind structure of
the massive binary system HD 166734 along its binary orbit. I show that close to periastron …

The Orientation of Eta Carinae and the Powering Mechanism of Intermediate-luminosity Optical Transients (ILOTS)

A Kashi, N Soker - The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Contrary to recent claims, we argue that the orientation of the massive binary system Eta
Carinae is such that the secondary star is closer to us at periastron passage, and it is on the …
