[vsnet-sdor 75] Re: The RXTE X-ray lightcurve of Eta Car through April 16



I'm not so sure - if you include the March 29 peak along with the 
last peak on april 14 the separation between these peaks is 16 days. 
Oddly enough if you look at the X-ray maximum peak from the 1998 
event, there was a flare about 16 days prior to it - meaning (maybe) 
that the march 14 peak was the X-ray maximum!
that's what alarms me

you're right though it is fascinating!
