Understanding the X-ray Flaring from Eta Car
A. F. J. Moffat, M. F. Corcoran
We quantify the rapid variations in X-ray brightness ("flares") from the extremely massive colliding wind binary Eta Carinae seen during the past three orbital cycles by RXTE. The…
High energy emission from massive stars: the precocious X-Ray recovery of Eta Carinae after January 2009 minimum
Elena Pian, Sergio Campana, Guido Chincarini +7
We observed the massive binary stellar system of Eta Carinae in the 0.3-10 keV energy range with the X-ray Telescope onboard the Swift satellite during the period 15 December 2008…
Detection of Gamma-ray Emission from the Eta-Carinae Region
M. Tavani, S. Sabatini, E. Pian +63
We present the results of extensive observations by the gamma-ray AGILE satellite of the Galactic region hosting the Carina nebula and the remarkable colliding wind binary Eta Cari…
A Smoking Gun in the Carina Nebula
Kenji Hamaguchi, Michael F. Corcoran, Yuichiro Ezoe +8
The Carina Nebula is one of the youngest, most active sites of massive star formation in our Galaxy. In this nebula, we have discovered a bright X-ray source that has persisted for…
3D modelling of the colliding winds in Eta Carinae - evidence for radiative inhibition
E. R. Parkin, J. M. Pittard, M. F. Corcoran +2
The X-ray emission from the super-massive star Eta Carinae is simulated using a three dimensional model of the wind-wind collision. In the model the intrinsic X-ray emission is spa…
