The Formation of Slow-Massive-Wide Jets
Noam Soker
I propose a model for the formation of slow-massive-wide (SMW) jets by accretion disks around compact objects. This study is motivated by claims for the existence of SMW jets in so…
Accretion onto the Companion of Eta Carinae During the Spectroscopic Event. V. the Infrared Decline
Amit Kashi, Noam Soker
We propose that the decline in the near-IR flux from the massive binary system Eta Carinae during the spectroscopic event might be explained by accreted mass that absorbs the radia…
A Model for the Formation of Large Circumbinary Disks Around Post AGB Stars
Muhammad Akashi, Noam Soker
We propose that the large, radius of ~1000 AU, circumbinary rotating disks observed around some post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) binary stars are formed from slow AGB wind m…
Further Indications Against Jet Rotation in Young Stellar Objects
Noam Soker
I discuss recent observations of asymmetries in Doppler shifts across T Tauri jets, and argue that the observed asymmetric velocity shifts and gradients do not indicate jet rotatio…
The Source of the Helium Visible Lines in Eta Carinae
Amit Kashi, Noam Soker
We assume that the helium-I lines emitted by the massive binary system Eta Carinae are formed in the acceleration zone of the less-massive secondary star. We calculate the Doppler…
Modelling the Radio Light Curve of Eta Carinae
Amit Kashi, Noam Soker
We study the propagation of the ionizing radiation emitted by the secondary star in Eta Carinae. We find that a large fraction of this radiation is absorbed by the primary stellar…
