A Case Study in Astronomical 3-D Printing: The Mysterious Eta Carinae
Thomas I. Madura
3-D printing moves beyond interactive 3-D graphics and provides an excellent tool for both visual and tactile learners, since 3-D printing can now easily communicate complex geomet…
VLTI-AMBER velocity-resolved aperture-synthesis imaging of Eta Carinae with a spectral resolution of 12000. Studies of the primary star wind and innermost wind-wind collision
G. Weigelt, K. -H. Hofmann, D. Schertl +26
Context. The mass loss from massive stars is not understood well. Eta Car is a unique object for studying the massive stellar wind during the LBV phase. It is also an eccentric bin…
The fossil wind structures of Eta Carinae: changes across on 5.54-year cycle
Theodore R. Gull, Thomas I. Madura, Mairan Teodoro +11
Eta Carinae, the closest, active, massive binary containing a highly unstable LBV, exhibits expanding, compressed wind shells, seen in emission, that are spatially and spectrally r…
To and beyond! The He I absorption variability across the 2014.6 periastron passage of Carinae
Noel D. Richardson, Thomas I. Madura, Lucas St-Jean +11
We have monitored the massive binary star Carinae with the CTIO/SMARTS 1.5~m telescope and CHIRON spectrograph from the previous apastron passage of the system through the rece…
Modelling the Central Constant Emission X-ray component of eta Carinae
Christopher M. P. Russell, Michael F. Corcoran, Kenji Hamaguchi +3
The X-ray emission of Carinae shows multiple features at various spatial and temporal scales. The central constant emission (CCE) component is centred on the binary and arises…
Eta Carinae's Thermal X-ray Tail Measured with XMM-Newton and NuSTAR
Kenji Hamaguchi, Michael F. Corcoran, Theodore R. Gull +12
The evolved, massive highly eccentric binary system, eta Carinae, underwent a periastron passage in the summer of 2014. We obtained two coordinated X-ray observations with XMM-Newt…
He II 4686 emission from the massive binary system in Car: constraints to the orbital elements and the nature of the periodic minima
M. Teodoro, A. Damineli, B. Heathcote +27
η Carinae is an extremely massive binary system in which rapid spectrum variations occur near periastron. Most notably, near periastron the He II line increases rapidly in…
