• The evolution of runaway stellar collision products (2009, background): “The location of η Car is based on Hillier et al. (2001), with the errorbar in effective temperature due to the range in their radius estimates.”
• The global gas and dust budget of the Large Magellanic Cloud: AGB stars and supernovae, and the impact on the ISM evolution (2009, methodology): “Hillier et al. (2001) suggested a gas mass-loss rate of 1 × 10−3 M yr−1 for η Car using a formula from Wright & Barlow (1975); near-infrared interferometric observations suggested 1.6 × 10−3 M yr−1 (van Boekel et al. 2003) for η Car.”
• Physical Properties of Wolf-Rayet Stars (2006, methodology): “LBVs possess powerful stellar winds, plus hydrogen depleted atmospheres, permitting similar analysis techniques to be used (e.g. Hillier et al. 2001).”
• Mass loss from hot massive stars (2008, methodology): “…1995) or from “cleaner”, 23 which is usually done whenpurely spectroscopic analysessuch as outlined above are performed. resolved observations (e.g., using theHST, Hillier et al 2001, or the recent, really promising results from long baseline interferometerssuch asAMBER-VLTI , Weigelt et al 2007).”
• Pulsational Pair-instability Supernovae (2016, background): “The current luminosity of Eta Carinae is about 1.9×1040 erg s−1 (Hillier et al. 2001), which is being emitted mostly in the infrared. de Koter et al. (2005).”
• Mass and Kinetic Energy of the Homunculus Nebula around η Carinae (2003, background): “For Car’s present-day wind (see Hillier et al. 2001) we find a value of 5, which is typical compared to powerful radiatively driven winds of Wolf-Rayet stars (Abbott & Conti 1987)—but for conditions during Car’s Great Eruption we find > 103.”
• The most massive stars in the Arches cluster (2007, background): “This is a standard value for WR stars (Hamann & Koesterke 1998; Hillier & Miller 1999; Morris et al. 2000; Hillier et al. 2001; Crowther et al. 2002a, 2006).”
• Mass Loss: Its Effect on the Evolution and Fate of High-Mass Stars (2014, methodology): “For Ṁ corresponding to normal winds of LBVs, values were compiled from a number of studies (Groh et al. 2009, Hillier et al. 2001, Smith et al. 2004, Vink & de Koter 2002).”

• Latitude-dependent Effects in the Stellar Wind of η Carinae (2003, methodology): “High-ionization [Ne iii] and [Fe iii] emission regions exist a few hundred AU from the star even though the dense wind is expected to absorb the star’s ionizing photons (e.g., see model in Hillier et al. 2001).”
