The Stellar Content of Obscured Galactic Giant HII Regions V: G333.1--0.4
E. Figueredo, R. D. Blum, A. Damineli +1
We present high angular resolution near--infrared images of the obscured Galactic Giant HII (GHII) region G333.1--0.4 in which we detect an OB star cluster. For G333.1--0.4, we fin…
XMM-Newton Observations of the 2003 X-ray Minimum of Eta Carinae
K. Hamaguchi, M. F. Corcoran, T. Gull +3
The XMM-Newton X-ray observatory took part in the multi-wavelength observing campaign of the massive, evolved star Eta Carinae in 2003 during its recent X-ray minimum. This paper r…
X-ray Gyrations of Eta Carinae, or, Is Presence of Evidence Evidence of Presence?
M. F. Corcoran, K. Hamaguchi, T. Gull +2
We review the properties of the variable X-ray emission from the extremely massive star Eta Carinae concentrating on the last X-ray minimum, and briefly consider the possible role…
A Change in the Physical State of Carinae?
K. Davidson, J. C. Martin, R. M. Humphreys +8
During Car's spectroscopic event in mid-2003, the stellar wind's bright H and H emission lines temporarily had a distinctive shape unlike that reported on any previous oc…
Accretion Signatures from Massive Young Stellar Objects
R. D. Blum, C. L. Barbosa, A. Damineli +2
High resolution (lambda / Delta-lambda = 50,000) K-band spectra of massive, embedded, young stellar objects are presented. The present sample consists of four massive young stars l…
Detection of He II 4686 in eta Carinae
J. E. Steiner, A. Damineli
We report the detection of the emission line He II 4686 A in eta Carinae. The equivalent width of this line is ~100 mA along most of the 5.5-yr cycle and jumps to ~900 mA just befo…
Waiting in the Wings: Reflected X-ray Emission from the Homunculus Nebula
M. F. Corcoran, K. Hamaguchi, T. Gull +14
We report the first detection of X-ray emission associated with the Homunculus Nebula which surrounds the supermassive star Eta Carinae. The emission is characterized by a temperat…
