The jet feedback mechanism (JFM) in stars, galaxies and clusters

N Soker - New Astronomy Reviews, 2016 - Elsevier
I review the influence jets and the bubbles they inflate might have on their ambient gas as
they operate through a negative jet feedback mechanism (JFM). I discuss astrophysical …

Accretion in massive colliding-wind binaries and the effect of the wind momentum ratio

A Kashi, A Michaelis… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
We carry out a numerical experiment for ejecting winds in a massive colliding-wind binary
system and quantify the accretion on to the secondary star under different primary mass-loss …

[HTML][HTML] Numerical Study of Colliding Winds in Massive Stars

A Kashi, A Michaelis - Galaxies, 2021 - mdpi.com
We run a numerical experiment ejecting stellar winds in a very massive binary system
measuring the properties of the resulting colliding wind structure and accreted mass onto the …

Orbital Parameters for the 250 M⊙ Eta Carinae Binary System

A Kashi, N Soker - The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We show that recent observations of He i and N ii lines of η Carinae may provide support for
an orbital orientation where the secondary star is closest to us at periastron passages. This …

The X-ray properties of Eta Carinae during its 2020 X-ray minimum

A Kashi, DA Principe, N Soker… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
The massive binary system Eta Carinae is characterized by intense colliding winds that form
shocks and emit X-rays. The system is highly eccentric (e≃ 0.9), resulting in modulated X-ray …

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 …

Fast ejecta resulted from jet–wind interaction in the Great Eruption of Eta Carinae

M Akashi, A Kashi - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
The accretion model for the 19th century Great Eruption (GE) of η Carinae suggests that
mass outflowing from the primary was accreted on to the secondary, and the gravitational …

Dissecting a supernova impostor's circumstellar medium: MUSEing about the SHAPE of η Carinae's outer ejecta

A Mehner, W Steffen, JH Groh, FPA Vogt… - Astronomy & …, 2016 - aanda.org
Aims. The role of episodic mass loss is one of the outstanding questions in massive star
evolution. The structural inhomogeneities and kinematics of their nebulae are tracers of their …

Accelerating Very Fast Gas in the Supernova Impostor SN 2009ip with Jets from a Stellar Companion

D Tsebrenko, N Soker - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
Using hydrodynamic numerical simulations we show that high-velocity ejecta with v∼ 10 4
km s− 1 in the outbursts of the supernova impostor SN 2009ip and similar luminous blue …

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 …
