Catching the Butterfly and the Homunculus of Carinae with ALMA
Luis A. Zapata, Laurent Loinard, Manuel Fernández-López +7
The nature and origin of the molecular gas component located in the circumstellar vicinity of Carinae are still far from being completely understood. Here, we present Atacama L…
The peculiar nebula Simeis 57: II. Distance, nature and excitation
L. H. T. Oudshoorn, F. P. Israel, J. Brinchmann +5
Simeis 57 (HS 191) is an optically bright nebula in the Cygnus X region with a peculiar appearance that suggests an outflow from a rotating source. Newly obtained observations and…
Eta Carinae & the Homunculus: Far Infrared, Sub-millimeter Spectral Lines
T. R. Gull, P. W. Morris, J. H. Black +4
The evolved massive binary star Eta Carinae underwent eruptive mass loss events that formed the complex bi-polar Homunculus nebula harboring tens of solar masses of unusually nitro…
Confirming interstellar C using the Hubble Space Telescope
M. A. Cordiner, H. Linnartz, N. L. J. Cox +9
Recent advances in laboratory spectroscopy lead to the claim of ionized Buckminsterfullerene (C60+) as the carrier of two diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) in the near-infrared. Ho…
Searching for interstellar C60+ using a new method for high signal-to-noise HST/STIS spectroscopy
M. A. Cordiner, N. L. J. Cox, R. Lallement +9
Due to recent advances in laboratory spectroscopy, the first optical detection of a very large molecule has been claimed in the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM): C60+ (ionized Buc…
