P Cygni 2000
400 Years of Progress : Proceedings of a Workshop Held in Armagh, Northern Ireland, 21-23 August 2000
Description:... Annotation The hypergiant star P Cygni was discovered in August 1600. An August 2000 workshop celebrated the 400th anniversary of the star's discovery with presentation of the research on the photometry and spectroscopy of P Cygni and other stars, theoretical aspects, and the environment of P Cygni. Some specific topics investigated include X-ray emission and variability of Eta Carinae, spectral and photometric variability of P Cygni, the near-infrared spectrum of P Cygni, nebular observations of the ejecta surrounding Eta Carinae, strange-mode instabilities in the nonlinear regime, the eruption history of P Cygni, and comparing P Cygni's spectroscopic variability with that of other B-type supergiants.
