3D modelling of the colliding winds in η Carinae–evidence for radiative inhibition

ER Parkin, JM Pittard, MF Corcoran… - Monthly Notices of …, 2009 - academic.oup.com
The X-ray emission from the supermassive star η Car is simulated using a 3D model of the
wind–wind collision. In the model the intrinsic X-ray emission is spatially extended and …

The extended interacting wind structure of Eta Carinae

TR Gull, KE Nielsen, MF Corcoran… - Monthly Notices of …, 2009 - academic.oup.com
The highly eccentric binary system, η Car, provides clues to the transition of massive stars
from hydrogen–burning via the CNO cycle to a helium–burning evolutionary state. The fast …

We present the Suzaku results of Carinae in the 5–50 keV range conducted twice around
the apastron in 2005 August for 50 ks and in 2006 February for 20 ks. The X-ray Imaging …

Using X-ray observations to explore the binary interaction in Eta Carinae

A Kashi, N Soker - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2009 - academic.oup.com
We study the usage of the X-ray light curve, column density towards the hard X-ray source,
and emission measure (density square times volume), of the massive binary system η …

Explaining the early exit of Eta Carinae from its 2009 X-ray minimum with the accretion model

A Kashi, N Soker - The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Prediction for the He iλ10830 Å absorption wing in the coming event of η Carinae
