[vsnet-chat 1956] More on eta Carinae

[bas@lowell.Lowell.Edu (Brian Skiff)]

     In a paper just published by Sterken et al. (1999 A&A 346,L33),
it is suggested that the recent slow brightening of eta Car represents a
transition to a luminous blue variable similar to S Doradus.  The brief
abstract can be read at:

...but the link to the full paper can be read only by those whose institutions
have a subscription to the journal.
