New forbidden and fluorescence Fe III lines identified in HST spectra of eta Carinae
We discuss the origin of eight emission lines in the spectra of gas blobs close to the central star of eta Carinae. The spectra have been obtained with the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS) and the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) onboard the Hubble Space Telescope. Between 2400 and 2500 Å five narrow lines are identified as new forbidden lines of doubly ionized iron, [Fe III]
