Modelling the Central Constant Emission X-ray component of η Carinae

CMP Russell, MF Corcoran… - Monthly Notices of …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
The X-ray emission of η Carinae shows multiple features at various spatial and temporal
scales. The central constant emission (CCE) component is centred on the binary and arises …

Orbital Parameters for the 250 M⊙ Eta Carinae Binary System

A Kashi, N Soker - The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We show that recent observations of He i and N ii lines of η Carinae may provide support for
an orbital orientation where the secondary star is closest to us at periastron passages. This …

Non-thermal emission from high-energy binaries through interferometric radio observations

B Marcote - arXiv preprint arXiv:1603.09276, 2016 - arxiv.org
High-mass binary systems involve extreme environments that produce non-thermal
emission from radio to gamma rays. Only three types of these systems are known to emit …
