Stellar wind-emission features in the spectrum of eta Carinae have decreased by factors of 1.5–3 relative to the continuum within the last 10 years. We investigate a large data set from …

ABSTRACT We monitored Eta Carinae with the Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 and Gemini GMOS throughout the 2009 spectroscopic event, which was expected to differ from …

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 …
