Journal ArticleDOI
Opening the Treasure Chest: A Newborn Star Cluster Emerges from its Dust Pillar in Carina
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present detailed observations of the Treasure Chest, a compact nebula at the head of a dust pillar in the southern Carina nebula, and investigate both the nebular and stellar content of the object.
Journal Article
HH jets aligned perpendicular to elephant trunks
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider a system of outflows ejected from low mass young stars embedded in the tips of elephant trunks and derive the distribution function expected for the angle between the projections of the outflow and elephant trunk axes on the plane of the sky.
Journal ArticleDOI
Erratum: A census of the Carina Nebula - I. Cumulative energy input from massive stars (Monthly Notices of the Royal Atronomical Society (2006) 367 (763-772))
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparing for an Explosion: Hydrodynamic Instabilities and Turbulence in Presupernovae
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore connections to enhanced presupernova mass loss, unsteady nuclear burning and consequent eruptions, swelling of the stellar radius that may trigger violent interactions with a companion star, and potential modifications to the core structure that could dramatically impact calculations of the core-collapse mechanism itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
Episodic Mass Loss and Pre-SN Circumstellar Envelopes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss observational clues concerning episodic mass-loss properties of massive stars in the time before the final supernova explosion, focusing on the mounting evidence that LBVs and related stars are candidates for supernova progenitors even though current paradigms place them at the end of core-H burning.
