Radio evidence of recent mass ejection from η Carinae
نویسندگان
چکیده
The luminous blue variable η Carinae is almost certainly a double star: a hot secondary in an eccentric orbit around a massive primary. Radio observations with the Australia Telescope Compact Array at a wavelength of 3 cm, covering the period from 1992 to 2002, suggest that at the time of last periastron, 1998.0, material was tidally lifted from the primary star into its equatorial disc.

Nitrogen and Oxygen Abundance Variations in the Outer Ejecta of Eta Carinae: Evidence for Recent Chemical Enrichment
We present optical spectra of the ionized ‘Outer Ejecta’ of η Carinae that reveal differences in chemical composition at various positions. In particular, young condensations just outside the dusty Homunculus Nebula show strong nitrogen lines and little or no oxygen — but farther away, nitrogen lines weaken and oxygen lines become stronger. The observed variations in the apparent N/O ratio may ...
متن کاملWind-wind collision in the η Carinae binary system: a shell-like event near periastron
The exact nature of η Carinae is still an open issue. Strict periodicity in the light curves at several wavelengths seem to point out to a binary system, but the observed radial velocities, measured from space with high spatial resolution are in conflict with the ground based observations used to calculate the binary orbit. Also, the observed 2-10 keV X-ray flux is much larger that what is expe...
متن کاملA hot transient outflow from η Carinae
η Carinae (η Car) is a stellar binary system with a period of 5.54 years. It harbors one of the brightest and most massive stars in our galaxy. This paper presents spectroscopic evidence for a fast (up to 2,000 km s) X-ray outflow of ionized gas launched from η Car just before what is believed to be the binary periastron (point of smallest binary separation). The appearance of this highvelocity...

η Carinae (η Car) is a stellar binary system with a period of 5.54 years. It harbors one of the brightest and most massive stars in our galaxy. This paper presents spectroscopic evidence for a fast (up to 2,000 km s) X-ray jet of ionized gas launched from η Car just before what is believed to be the binary periastron (point of smallest binary separation). By analogy with jets in other astrophys...
متن کاملComparing Eta Carinae with the Red Rectangle
I compare the structures of the bipolar nebulae around the massive binary system η Carinae and around the low mass binary system HD 44179. While η Carinae is on its way to become a supernova, the Red Rectangle is on its way to form a planetary nebula. Despite the two orders of magnitude difference in mass, these two systems show several similarities, both in the properties of the stellar binary...
