Eta Carinae - Brightening??????

[Suzy]

That was a really top read Rob! I'm going to print it out and file it with my other Eta Carina stuff.

[PeterM]

That certainly was a great read.

Suzy I found this timeline that may be useful to include with your Eta Carina stuff. I wonder, if you are going to Astrofest perhaps you might consider a short presentation on your continuing passion for this, just a thought.

PeterM.

Looks like it hit peak mag on june 19

Most interesting.
I have to admit the sceptical scientist in me didn't think it likely the variations would be perceptible to the human eye, but it would seem those changes over the last 2 years definitely would be.

Hats off to those that noticed!

At the other side of the world, that is Argentina one of our observatories has been tracking Eta Carina for a while

Info and graphs here:
http://etacar.fcaglp.unlp.edu.ar/

http://etacar.fcaglp.unlp.edu.ar/plots/difaperV.png
V-relative brigthness increasing of the central region, relative to the complete Homunculus just after event

Hope this info helps!

I'm not an expert but I think it is brightening but within expected rate for peaks and lows as seen in the last years. Nothing exceptional. (yet!)

Thanks Luis, but I cannot access either of those two sites you present

[MikeyB (Michael)]

There must be some problem with your browser/internet link, Ron - Luis' links both work perfectly for me and the .png one is just to a picture of a graph.

Bojan, your links don't work for me iether
I will will get onto my server tomorrow to see if they are blocking this site
Is it possible my security software is blocking this site
Cheers

[bojan]

Sorry for typos, the links work for me :-)

It must be a problem with your ISP.. or something local.

[astroron (Ron)]

Thanks Bojan.

[Suzy]

Jason, thankyou for that wonderful link! Some really good info coming this way .

Like Ron, I also can't get access those links either . Response is the same as Ron's computer.

Thankyou Peter so much for that link.

Thankyou also for the kind invitation, I felt very special indeed!
As passionate as I am about this topic, I feel however there are plenty of others that could give this presentation more justice than I could, for I am just a beginner really.

[MrB (Simon)]

I'm with Ron and Suzy, no go on those links.

The connection has timed out
The server at etacar.fcaglp.unlp.edu.ar is taking too long to respond.

[MikeyB (Michael)]

Links are still working perfectly via Optus.
