VLT/X-shooter observations of blue compact galaxies Haro 11 and ESO 338-IG 004

NG Guseva, YI Izotov, KJ Fricke, C Henkel - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2012 - aanda.org
Context. Strongly star-forming galaxies of subsolar metallicities are typical of the high-
redshift universe. Here we therefore provide accurate data for two low-z analogs, the well …

X-ray Variability and the Secondary Star

MF Corcoran, K Ishibashi - Eta Carinae and the Supernova Impostors, 2012 - Springer
We discuss the history of X-ray observations of the η Car system, concentrating on the
periodic variability discovered in the 1990s. We discuss the interpretation of these variations …
