An international team of astronomers using the Very large telescope have obtained images of the star ETA Carinae with high resolution.
The dual system was published on the website of the European southern Observatory.
ETA Carinae consists of two massive stars orbiting a common center of gravity. She is very active and throws in the space of stellar winds with speeds up to ten million kilometers per hour. The area between the stars components system in which the winds from each of them are facing very turbulent, but still was unavailable for the study.
The incredible energy released in the Ete of the Keel, leading to large-scale phenomena. In the 1830-ies was observed in the system of the “Great eruption”, which was due to short-term emissions of more component giant amounts of gas and dust. This has led to the emergence of a new Homunculus Nebula, visible now. Clash rushing with great speed towards each other of the stellar winds generates a temperature of millions of degrees, and intense gamma radiation.
The Central region of the nebula in which there is a collision of the winds, is so low — a thousand times smaller than the Homunculus Nebula — space or ground telescopes still couldn’t get her detailed images. Now, however, the researchers were able to obtain detailed images of star system.
The picture shows a region between these two components in the Keel, where the stellar wind, rushing from the smaller and hotter of the two stars, is faced with a more dense wind from the more pairs of stars, you can see the unexpected fan-shaped structure.
