cds-question@unistra.fratomic-physicsspectroscopyWe present an analysis of the visible through near-infrared spectrum of Eta Carinae ({eta} Car) and its ejecta obtained during the "{eta} Car Campaign with the Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph (UVES) at the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT)." This is a part of larger effort to present a complete {eta} Car spectrum, and extends the previously presented analyses with the Hubble Space Telescope/Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (HST/STIS) in the UV (1240-3159{AA}) to 10430{AA}. The spectrum in the mid- and near-UV is characterized by the ejecta absorption. At longer wavelengths, stellar wind features from the central source and narrow-emission lines from the Weigelt condensations dominate the spectrum. However, narrow absorption lines from the circumstellar shells are present. This paper provides a description of the spectrum between 3060 and 10430{AA}, including line identifications of the ejecta absorption spectrum, the emission spectrum from the Weigelt condensations and the P Cygni stellar wind features. The high spectral resolving power of VLT/UVES enables equivalent width measurements of atomic and molecular absorption lines for elements with no transitions at the shorter wavelengths. However, the ground-based seeing and contributions of nebular-scattered radiation prevent direct comparison of measured equivalent widths in the VLT/UVES and HST/STIS spectra. Fortunately, HST/STIS and VLT/UVES have a small overlap in wavelength coverage which allows us to compare and adjust for the difference in scattered radiation entering the instruments' apertures. This paper provides a complete online VLT/UVES spectrum with line identifications and a spectral comparison between HST/STIS and VLT/UVES between 3060 and 3160{AA}.2009ApJS..181..473Nhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJS/181/473CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic servicerelated-toJ/other/NewA/15.108 : UBVRIHalpha of eta Car in 2009 (Fernandez-Lajus+ 2010)J/A+A/493/1093 : BVRI light curves of eta Car (Fernandez-Lajus+, 2009)J/ApJS/168/289 : NUV spectrum of eta Car in 2003.5 (Nielsen+, 2007)J/ApJS/163/173 : UV spectrum of eta Car in 2003.5 (Gull+, 2006)J/ApJS/157/138 : UV spectrum of eta Car (Nielsen+, 2005)J/AJ/129/2018 : RXTE scaled fluxes of eta Car (Corcoran+, 2005)J/A+A/419/215 : Emission lines of eta Car (Hartman+, 2004)J/A+A/343/847 : Geneva Photometry of Eta Car (van Genderen+ 1999)J/A+A/304/415 : uvby-Hbeta photometry of Eta Car 1992-94 (van Genderen+, 1995)J/ApJS/71/983 : UV spectrum of eta Car (Viotti+ 1989)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/181/473https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/181/473http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/181/473https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/181/473https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/181/473http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/181/473GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapOpticaldefaultJ/ApJS/181/473/table3Identificationi of lines in the spectral interval 3060-10430{AA}ConfConfigurationphys.atmol.configuration;instr.setupcharIonElementphys.atmol.ionStagecharrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
