High-resolution spectroscopy of two LBV cycles of HR Car
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2016
Abstract
Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs or S Dor Variables) are showing characteristic variability of very long timescales of a decade and more. During their expansion and contraction phases, they move across a wide part of the H-R diagram with dramatic changes of their stellar wind characteristics, radius and temperature. We present results of our long-term spectroscopic monitoring campaigns for the galactic star HR Car with optical spectra taken over 13 years and two minimum and maximum phases observed during this time.
