Morphology and Kinematics of Eta Carinae
Revista Mexicana de Astronomia Y Astrofisica
(Serie de Conferencias), v.2, p.17-22 (1996)
Abstract
We present a high-resolution image of Eta Car. Together with IR and
visual observations of the central arcsecond, we use this to discuss
the
morphological structure of Eta Car on the different length scales.
We
identify three different structural components: a bipolar outflow, an
equatorial disk of streamers, and the speckle objects. We discuss
models
for the kinematics of the whole complex, and propose observations that
could settle the question of the structure of Eta Car.
