Podcasts about Eta Carinae

One of the most amazing star systems in the galaxy is only 7500 light-years away. In the 1800s, it shined brighter than only one other star in the entire night sky. And combined, its two stars are at least five million times brighter than the Sun. Yet no one has ever seen either star directly – they’re encased in a cocoon of their own making. Eta Carinae appears to consist of two supergiants. One of them may be a hundred times the mass of the Sun – one of the heaviest stars yet discovered. The other is perhaps 30 times the Sun’s mass or more. Almost two centuries ago, the system began to flare up. Astronomers still aren’t quite sure why. Perhaps one of the stars engulfed a third member of the system. Or perhaps the two stars passed especially close together, and their gravity ripped out big torrents of hot gas. Whatever the reason, over a couple of decades Eta Carinae grew especially bright. Then it faded from view. That’s because the two stars had expelled a huge amount of gas – enough to make 20 stars like the Sun. The material cooled, wrapping the stars in a dense nebula. It’s shaped like an hourglass, with a sheet extending from its waist like a ballerina’s tutu The stars are only about three million years old. But the heavier one could expire at any time. It could explode as an especially bright supernova. Or it might collapse to form a black hole – a dark fate for a brilliant star. Script by Damond Benningfield

This podcast may be better seen as a video: https://youtu.be/TeBsGpw1cJ0If you want to bet on the next big supernova, then I would suggest that name of Eta Carinae. It is one of the most massive stars in the Milky Way and had an enormous eruption in 1843. But now, a combination of images from the Hubble Space Telescope, Chandra, and Spitzer, we have an insight into what is happening with this star. Please join astrophysicist Salman Hameed in exploring one of the most interesting stars in the galaxy. 

Una estrella moribunda es aquella que se encuentra en su última etapa vital, justo antes de convertirse en supernova. La explosión de rayos gamma resultante es una las más grandes que pueden darse en el universo. Una estrella moribunda llamada WR104 merodea a 8.000 años luz de la Tierra y hay quien cree que su destello de rayos gamma apunta directamente hacia nuestro planeta. El sistema galáctico autodestructivo 3C321 conforma una visión aterradora de lo que podría ocurrir algún día en la Vía Láctea: el agujero negro de una galaxia compañera está golpeando a 3C321 con una explosión constante de partículas altamente energéticas, causando estragos sobre sus cuerpos celestes. Cerca de allí, las estrellas moribundas Eta Carinae y Betelgeuse consumen sus reservas de combustible mientras se precipitan hacia la extinción. Probablemente, un terrible final está muy cerca de producirse.Desde el nacimiento de la civilización, el ser humano se ha preguntado qué o quién creó el universo. La religión ofrece una respuesta espiritual, pero ¿muestran los últimos descubrimientos en física la existencia de una inteligencia superior o simplemente fueron las leyes de la física, por sí solas, las que dieron lugar al universo? Este episodio lleva por una asombrosa búsqueda científica de Dios preguntando a físicos y teólogos si la forma, aparentemente milagrosa, en que se creó el universo prueba que hubo un creador; si la Teoría de Cuerdas será capaz finalmente de descartar la existencia de Dios; por qué Stephen Hawking sostiene que el universo pudo haberse formado de manera espontánea y cómo una civilización avanzada de otro universo podría haber creado el nuestro.

On ne présente plus Eta Carinae, ce couple d'étoiles très massives en interaction étroite qui est plongée dans l'épaisse nébuleuse de l'Homoncule. En 2008, on a détecté des rayons X non thermiques en provenant et l'année suivante en 2009, ce furent des rayons gamma énergétiques, coïncidant avec le passage au plus proche des deux étoiles. Une nouvelle étude s'est penchée dans les données d'archives du télescope gamma Fermi-LAT des 12 dernières années et analyse l'évolution de l'émission gamma couvrant deux périodes de rotation du couple et trois passages au périastre, là où le rayonnement gamma est le plus intense. L'étude est publiée dans Astronomy&Astrophysics.

Accounts of occasional celestial spectacular events in past centuries have provided crucial information for modern-day astrophysicists. One such example is the so-called Great Eruption of Eta Carinae which was for a time in the mid 19th century the third brightest object in the night sky. Interpretation of the spectacular structure of this so-called supernova imposter would be hard without information from eye-witnesses of days gone by.A lecture by Katherine Blundell OBE 18 NovemberThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/witnessing-fireworksGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website. There are currently over 2,000 lectures free to access or download from the website.Website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk Twitter: http://twitter.com/GreshamCollege Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/greshamcollege Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/greshamcollege

C'est une bien jolie découverte, inopinée, que vient de faire une jeune astrophysicienne de l'Université de l'Arizona : Eta Carinae, étoile géante massive connue pour avoir subi une forte éruption vers 1840 a en fait connu deux autres éruptions du même type, au 13ème et au 16ème siècles...

With all evidence of the Eta Carinae crash confiscated by Lester Trice, Felix and Allan are forced to abandon the case and focus on their fledgling pirate radio broadcast, the Drywater Dispatch. But when they are approached by a mysterious old man who has lost a priceless family heirloom, their only clue leads them to a troublesome gang of familiar boys who may have gotten in over their heads - and dragged Felix and Allan deeper into the mystery than they ever expected. Drywater is written by Michael Pope and Ryan Snyder, and produced by Ryan Snyder.

L'étoile Eta Carinae n'est pas une étoile comme les autres. C'est un mystère, un mystère qui fascine les astronomes depuis le 19ème siècle.Eta Carinae est composée de deux étoiles qui se tournent autour en 5,5 ans. La plus grosse est énorme, elle pèse plus de 90 fois la masse du Soleil, et se trouve être incroyablement instable. Une grosse nébuleuse gazeuse formant deux gros lobes (la nébuleuse de l'Homoncule), elle-même plongée dans une autre masse de gaz (la nébuleuse d'êta Carinae) entoure l'ensemble. Lorsque sa petite compagne se rapproche au plus près d'elle, comme c'est le cas en ce moment, l'interaction entre les deux étoiles produit des changements brutaux dans l'émission à haute énergie du système.

L'étoile binaire êta Carinae n'est pas une étoile comme les autres. C'est un mystère, un mystère qui fascine les astronomes depuis le 19ème siècle...

Eta Carinae, one of the most massive stars in our Milky Way galaxy, unexpectedly increased in brightness in the 19th century. For ten years in the mid-1800s it was the second-brightest star in the sky. (Now it is not even in the top 100.) The increase in luminosity was so great that it earned the rare title of Great Eruption. New research from a team including Carnegie’s Jose Prieto, now at Princeton University, has used a “light echo” technique to demonstrate that this eruption was much different than previously thought.

Of the estimated three hundred billion stars in our galaxy, Eta Carinae may well be the biggest and brightest of them all. Weighing in at 150 times the mass of our Sun, it is five million times as luminous!
