Eta Carinae--Physics of the Inner Ejecta

F Hamann - arXiv preprint arXiv:1212.3348, 2012 - arxiv.org
Eta Carinae's inner ejecta are dominated observationally by the bright Weigelt blobs and
their famously rich spectra of nebular emission and absorption lines. They are dense (n_e …

Spectroscopy and Interferometry of the Winds of Luminous Blue Variables

ND Richardson - 2012 - scholarworks.gsu.edu
Massive stars are rare, but emit most of the light we observe in the Universe and create
many of the heavy elements. New observational approaches and long time-series are …

The Winds of Eta Carinae and Other Very Luminous Stars

FP Najarro, DJ Hillier - Eta Carinae and the Supernova Impostors, 2012 - Springer
Abstract The winds of Eta Carinae, other related very luminous stars, and candidate LBVs
are reviewed. While ground-based spectra of η Car are influenced by multiple emission …

Imaging with HST the time evolution of Eta Carinae's colliding winds

TR Gull, TI Madura, JH Groh, MF Corcoran - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2011 - arxiv.org
We report new HST/STIS observations that map the high-ionization forbidden line emission
in the inner arcsecond of Eta Car, the first that fully image the extended wind-wind …

He II 4686 in eta Carinae: collapse of the wind-wind collision region during periastron passage

M Teodoro, A Damineli, JI Arias, FX de Araújo… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2011 - arxiv.org
The periodic spectroscopic events in eta Carinae are now well established and occur near
the periastron passage of two massive stars in a very eccentric orbit. Several mechanisms …

N II 5668-5712, a New Class of Spectral Features in Eta Carinae

A Mehner, K Davidson, GJ Ferland - arXiv preprint arXiv:1104.1829, 2011 - arxiv.org
We report on the N II 5668-5712 emission and absorption lines in the spectrum of Eta
Carinae. Spectral lines of the stellar wind regions can be classified into four physically …

[PDF][PDF] He II λ4686 in η Carinae and the nature of the 5.538-yr cycle

M Teodoro, A Damineli, JI Arias… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2011 - researchgate.net
The periodic minima in η Carinae are now well defined and interpreted as due to periastron
passage of two massive stars in a very eccentric orbit. Different mechanisms have been …

[图书][B] Exploring and Modeling High-excitation Emission in the Ejecta and the Wind of Eta Carinae

A Mehner - 2011 - search.proquest.com
Eta Carinae is the most massive, most luminous star in our region of the Galaxy. It is an
evolved massive star and therefore provides many clues to the fate of the most massive …
