Submillimetre emission from η Carinae
We present critical, long-wavelength observations of η Carinae in the submillimetre using SCUBA on the JCMT at 850 and 450 μm to confirm the presence of a large mass of warm dust around the central star. We fit a two-component blackbody to the IR-submm spectral energy distribution (SED) and estimate between 0.3− 0.7 M⊙ of dust exists in the nebula depending on the dust absorption properties and...
متن کاملThe periodicity of the η Carinae events ⋆ † ‡
Extensive spectral observations of η Carinae over the last cycle, and particularly around the 2003.5 low excitation event, have been obtained. The variability of both narrow and broad lines, when combined with data taken from two earlier cycles, reveal a common and well defined period. We have combined the cycle lengths derived from the many lines in the optical spectrum with those from broad-b...
متن کاملNumerical hydrodynamic simulations of jet-driven bipolar outflows
The jet model for protostellar outflows is confronted with the constraints imposed by CO spectroscopic observations. From three dimensional simulations of a dense molecular medium being penetrated by a denser molecular jet, we simulate line profiles and construct position-velocity diagrams for the (low-J) CO transitions. We find (1) the profiles imply power law variation of integrated brightnes...
متن کاملHard X - ray emission from η Carinae
Context. If relativistic particle acceleration takes place in colliding-wind binaries, hard X-rays and γ-rays are expected through inverse Compton emission, but to date these have never been unambiguously detected. Aims. To detect this emission, observations of η Carinae were performed with INTEGRAL, leveraging its high spatial resolution. Methods. Deep hard X-ray images of the region of η Car ...
متن کاملThe porous atmosphere of η - Carinae Nir
We analyze the wind generated by the great 20 year long super-Eddington outburst of η-Carinae. We show that using classical stellar atmospheres and winds theory, it is impossible to construct a consistent wind model in which a sufficiently small amount of mass, like the one observed, is shed. One expects the super-Eddington luminosity to drive a thick wind with a mass loss rate substantially hi...
