Periastron passage triggering of the 19th century eruptions of Eta Carinae
We reconstruct the evolution of η Car in the last two centuries under the assumption that the
two 19th century eruptions were triggered by periastron passages and through this …

iPTF14hls as a variable hyper-wind from a very massive star
The origin of iPTF14hls, which had Type IIP supernova-like spectra but kept bright for almost
two years with little spectral evolution, is still unclear. We here propose that iPTF14hls was …
