THE OPTICAL WIND LINE VARIABILITY OF<i>η</i>CARINAE DURING THE 2009.0 EVENT

We report on high-resolution spectroscopy of the 2009.0 spectroscopic event of η Carinae collected via SMARTS observations using the CTIO 1.5 m telescope and echelle spectrograph. Our observations were made almost every night over a two-month interval around the photometric minimum of η Car associated with the periastron passage of …
