A 70 pc-Diameter Nova Super-remnant Surrounding the Recurrent Nova RS Ophiuchi
Michael M. Shara, Kenneth M. Lanzetta, Alexandra Masegian +9
Recurrent novae undergo thermonuclear-powered eruptions separated by less than 100 years, enabled by subgiant or red giant donors transferring hydrogen-rich matter at very high rat…

The Newly Discovered Nova Super-Remnant Surrounding Recurrent Nova T Coronae Borealis: Will it Light Up During the Coming Eruption?
Michael M. Shara, Kenneth M. Lanzetta, Alexandra Masegian +7
A century or less separates the thermonuclear-powered eruptions of recurrent novae in the hydrogen-rich envelopes of massive white dwarfs. The colliding ejecta of successive recurr…

Discovery of a 25 parsec-long precessing jet emanating from the old nova GK Persei
Michael M. Shara, Kenneth M. Lanzetta, James T. Garland +6
Classical nova eruptions result from thermonuclear-powered runaways in, and ejection of, the hydrogen-rich envelopes of white dwarf stars accreted from their close binary companion…
