Eta Carinae: Clues to Its Binarity Ted Gull Krister Nielsen* Mike Corcoran John Hillier Kenji Hamaguchi Stefan Ivarsson Gerd Weigelt* & AMBER Team * Lead authors in prep

OUTLINE Brief background of Eta Carinae including periodicity Binarity evidence from: Weigelt D STIS spectra ‘Stellar’ Line profiles A Simple model VLTI/AMBER - first result Visualization of wind structure

 Car In late CNO cycle -- N overproduced at expense of C, O the Great Event in 1840s -1 magnitude; bright for 20 years > 12 M o Ejected -> Homunculus another event in the 1890s ~> 0.5 M o Ejected -> Little Homunculus Luminosity~ 5x10 6 L o T e ~15,000K ==>MASS>100 M o Mass Loss Rate: ~10 -3 M o /yr Wind Velocity: km/s Historical spectrum highly variable

Periodic Variability implies Binarity: Damineli (1996) noted spectroscopic 5.52-year periodicity Confirmed in X-rays, IR, visible, UV in Coordinated observations of minimum RXTE period days (M. Corcoran 2005) GTO (Gull), GO and Hubble Treasury (Davidson) monitoring FUSE (fuv dropped during minimum), CHANDRA (dropped to few % during minimum), VLT/UVES + STIS (echelle disp A) Much being learned about properties of ejecta Much being learned about properties of ejecta Homunculus: -513 km/s Fe I, V II, Ti 760K H 2 photoexcited during max, CH, OH, NH, CH + 60K Homunculus: -513 km/s Fe I, V II, Ti 760K H 2 photoexcited during max, CH, OH, NH, CH + 60K Little Homunculus: -146 km/s Fe II, Cr 6400K --> 5000K minimum Little Homunculus: -146 km/s Fe II, Cr 6400K --> 5000K minimum Strontium filament : Neutral emission region excited by Balmer continuum Strontium filament : Neutral emission region excited by Balmer continuum

VLTI/AMBER Weigelt et al. In prep. ~ 5 mas H I Br  He I 2 1 S P R= 10,000 R= 1500 R=1500

VLTI/AMBER IR Cont: 4 mas H I: 4-6 X centered on continuum He I emis~3X; offset? He I absor: ~4 mas R=1500

Apastron: March 2006 VLTI/AMBER observations: We look for Eta B in continuum ~2% flux of Eta A ~8 mas PA  135 o ; He I emission velocity components along wind-wind interface Issue: sufficient UV-plane sampling? Conclusion/ Frustration STIS observations of H I, He I, Fe II ‘wind’ lines & Weigelt blobs consistent with hot binary companion blowing cavity in primary wind and He II ionization leading to He I recombination Prediction: The Holy Grail --> Eta Car B Velocity curve does not (easily) provide mass ratio.
