Abstract
We present a photometric study of the luminous early-type star η Car. The star’s secular brightness increase is due largely to the expansion of the Homunculus. η Car is a LBV with a possible B0.5V companion. The combined effect of Balmer-line emission, and of warm and cold dust radiation explains the star’s other light variations.
