Description: Probing the Last Gasps of Doomed Star Eta Carinae. The spectrum covers approximately 700nm - 760nm in the near infrared. The broard HeI line is from the primary wind, while the narrow forbidden ionised metal lines are from the surrounding nebula. The ArIII line may arise from the colliding wind zone.
