Constraints on decreases in η Carinae's mass-loss from 3D hydrodynamic simulations of its binary colliding winds

TI Madura, TR Gull, AT Okazaki… - Monthly Notices of …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
Recent work suggests that the mass-loss rate of the primary star ηA in the massive colliding
wind binary η Carinae dropped by a factor of 2–3 between 1999 and 2010. We present …

Modelling the asymmetric wind of the luminous blue variable binary MWC 314

Aims. We present a spectroscopic analysis of MWC 314, a luminous blue variable (LBV)
candidate with an extended bipolar nebula. The detailed spectroscopic variability is …

Accretion of dense clumps in the periastron passage of η Carinae

MS Akashi, A Kashi, N Soker - New Astronomy, 2013 - Elsevier
We perform 3D hydrodynamical numerical simulations of the winds interaction process in
the massive binary system η Carinae, and find the secondary star to accrete mass from the …

A comprehensive study of supernovae modeling

C Li - 2013 - search.proquest.com
The evolution of massive stars, as well as their endpoints as supernovae (SNe), is important
both in astrophysics and cosmology. While tremendous progress towards an understanding …
