Modeling the strings in the outer regions of η Carinae
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2016
Abstract
The narrow high-speed optical filaments emerging from the Homunculus of η Carinae are modelled as resulting from the passage of ballistic ‘bullets’ of material through the dense circumstellar environment. In this explanation, the string is the decelerating flow of ablated gas from the bullet. Many of the observed properties of the strings are accounted for in this simple model.
