AT 2016blu: Accretion-Powered Outbursts in a Luminous Blue Variable and Compact Object Binary
Mojgan Aghakhanloo, Núria Torres-Albà, Nathan Smith +33
We present the first X-ray detection of the supernova (SN) impostor AT 2016blu in NGC 4559. AT 2016blu exhibited 27 detected quasiperiodic (~113 day) outbursts between 2012 and Jun…
TCP J072226836220548: a new AM CVn type system with infrequent outbursts
Alexander Tarasenkov, Kirill Sokolovsky, Alexandr Dodin +11
We present the discovery of TCP J072226836220548, a new ultracompact binary system of the AM CVn type. This system was first identified displaying a mag outburst on…
TESS photometry of the nova eruption in V606 Vul: asymmetric photosphere and multiple ejections?
Kirill V. Sokolovsky, Elias Aydi, Konstantin Malanchev +70
Lightcurves of many classical novae deviate from the canonical "fast rise - smooth decline" pattern and display complex variability behavior. We present the first TESS-space-photom…
MASTER OT J030227.28+191754.5: an unprecedentedly energetic dwarf nova outburst
Yusuke Tampo, Taichi Kato, Keisuke Isogai +60
We present a detailed study of the MASTER OT J030227.28+191754.5 outburst in 2021-2022, reaching an amplitude of 10.2 mag and a duration of 60 d. The detections of (1) the double-p…
