Eta Carinae left a curious ladder to climb

Theodore R. Gull, Henrik Hartman, Michael F. Corcoran +5

Eta Carinae underwent the Great Eruption in the 1840s and a Lesser Eruption in the 1890s. Its apparent spectrum, modified by intervening ejecta, the Homunculus and Little Homunculu…

Long-term evolution in ionization of ejecta illuminated by Eta Carinae

Augusto Damineli, Noel D. Richardson, Felipe Navarete +6

Changes in the flux and spectrum of Eta Carinae since 1900 have been attributed to the evolution of the central binary by some. Others suggest evolution in the occulting ejecta. Th…

Eta Carinae: the dissipating occulter is an extended structure

Theodore R. Gull, Henrik Hartman, Mairan Teodoro +10

Previous STIS long-slit observations of Eta Carinae identified numerous absorption features in both the stellar spectrum, and in the adjacent nebular spectra, along our line-of-sig…

The orbital kinematics of eta Carinae over three periastra with a possible detection of the elusive secondary's motion

Emily Strawn, Noel D. Richardson, Anthony F. J. Moffat +14

The binary eta Carinae is the closest example of a very massive star, which may have formed through a merger during its Great Eruption in the mid-nineteenth century. We aimed to co…

Nested Dust Shells around the Wolf-Rayet Binary WR 140 observed with JWST

Ryan M. Lau, Matthew J. Hankins, Yinuo Han +29

Massive colliding-wind binaries that host a Wolf-Rayet (WR) star present a potentially important source of dust and chemical enrichment in the interstellar medium (ISM). However, t…

NICER X-ray Observations of Eta Carinae During its Most Recent Periastron Passage

David Espinoza-Galeas, Michael Francis Corcoran, Kenji Hamaguchi +12

We report high-precision X-ray monitoring observations in the 0.4-10 keV band of the luminous, long-period colliding-wind binary Eta Carinae up to and through its most recent X-ray…
