The Nova KT Eri Is a Recurrent Nova With a Recurrence Time-Scale of 40-50 Years

Bradley E. Schaefer, Frederick M. Walter, Rebekah Hounsell +1

KT Eridani was a very fast nova in 2009 peaking at V=5.42 mag. We marshal large data sets of photometry to finally work out the nature of KT Eri. From the TESS light curve, as conf…

The Effect of Enriched Accreted Matter on the Development of Novae

Yael Hillman, Maya Gerbi

The development of a nova eruption is well known to be determined by the white dwarf (WD) mass and the rate at which it accretes mass from its donor. One of the advancements in thi…

In-depth Analysis of Evolving Binary Systems that Produce Nova Eruptions

Yael Hillman

This study is the direct continuation of the work performed in Hillman et al. (2020) where they used their feedback dominated numerical simulations to model the evolution of four i…

Simulations of Multiple Nova Eruptions Induced by Wind Accretion in Symbiotic Systems

Yael Hillman, Amit Kashi

We use a combined binary evolution code including dynamical effects to study nova eruptions in a symbiotic system. Following the evolution, over years, of multiple conse…

A unified theory of cataclysmic variables from self-consistent numerical simulations

Yael Hillman, Michael M. Shara, Dina Prialnik +1

The hydrogen-rich envelopes accreted by white dwarf stars from their red dwarf companions lead to thermonuclear runaways observed as classical nova eruptions peaking at up to 1 Mil…

The supersoft X-ray transient ASASSN-16oh as a thermonuclear runaway without mass ejection

Yael Hillman, Marina Orio, Dina Prialnik +3

The supersoft X-ray and optical transient ASASSN-16oh has been interpreted by Maccarone et al. (2019) as having being induced by an accretion event on a massive white dwarf, resemb…
