Scientific paper

This observation is a "science calibration", to illustrate the science capabilities of AXAF. It is to be done early and archived so the data are accessable to all without delay. There is no proprietary period. Eta Carinae is a diffuse source, 1 arcminute in diameter, surrounding a strongly absorbed central star. It is the brighest extrasolar source at a wavelength of 2 microns. Comparison of the AXAF image with the widely-distributed HST image should be of particular interest to the general public. The ACIS CC observation is to obtain a spectrum of the central source undistorted by pileup.
