η Carinae with Fermi-LAT: two full orbits and the third periastron

G Martí-Devesa, O Reimer - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2021 - aanda.org
Context. Colliding-wind binaries are massive stellar systems featuring strong, interacting
winds. These binaries may be actual particle accelerators, making them variable γ-ray …

The X-ray properties of Eta Carinae during its 2020 X-ray minimum

A Kashi, DA Principe, N Soker… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
The massive binary system Eta Carinae is characterized by intense colliding winds that form
shocks and emit X-rays. The system is highly eccentric (e≃ 0.9), resulting in modulated X-ray …

Discovery of a 310 Day Period from the Enshrouded Massive System NaSt1 (WR 122)

Orbits and outflows of emission-line stars

D Grant - 2021 - ora.ox.ac.uk
The optical spectra of some stars exhibit spectral lines in emission, which is characteristic of
them having powerful radiatively driven winds. These stars are known as emission-line …
