X-ray emission from interacting wind massive binaries: A review of 15 years of progress

G Rauw, Y Nazé - Advances in Space Research, 2016 - Elsevier
Previous generations of X-ray observatories revealed a group of massive binaries that were
relatively bright X-ray emitters. This was attributed to emission of shock-heated plasma in the …

Light echoes from the plateau in Eta Carinae's Great Eruption reveal a two-stage shock-powered event
