We use the accretion model to explain the early exit of η Car from its 2009 X-ray minimum. In
the accretion model, the secondary star accretes mass from the primary wind near periastron …

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 …

We report continued monitoring of the superluminous binary system η Car by the
Proportional Counter Array on the Rossi X-ray Timing Observatory (RXTE) through the 2009 …

We calculate the X-ray luminosity and light curve for the stellar binary system η Car for the
entire orbital period of 5.54 yr. By using a new approach we find, as suggested in previous …

We examine the influence of the gravity of the companion (the secondary) to the massive
primary star η Carinae on the winds blown by the primary and the secondary. The two winds …

We apply the previously suggested accretion model for the behavior of the super-massive
binary system η Car close to periastron passages. In that model it is assumed that for∼ 10 …

We solve the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer X-ray light curve of the extremely luminous and
massive star η Carinae with a colliding-wind emission model to refine the ground-based …

We report on Swift X-ray Telescope observations of Eta Carinae (η Car), an extremely
massive, long-period, highly eccentric binary obtained during the 2014.6 X-ray …

Abstract Hubble Space Telescope Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (HST STIS) near-
ultraviolet (NUV) echelle spectra reveal complex structure in the sight line toward the …

We propose that the decline in the near-IR flux from the massive binary system η Carinae
during the spectroscopic event might be explained by accreted mass that absorbs the …
