Infrared spectrum of eta Carinae: 3--14 microns

Intermediate resolution spectral scans of eta Car in the range 3.2--14 $mu$m provide strong support for the model proposed by Robinson, Hyland, and Thomas (1973) in which the infrared emission arises from two concentric dust shells heated by the central object. No fine-structure or recombination emission lines were observed over this spectral range. (auth)
