Review Of The 2010 Eruption Of Recurrent Nova U Scorpii
Bradley E. Schaefer
On 28 January 2010, the recurrent nova U Scorpii had its long predicted eruption; prior preparation allowed for this to become the all-time best observed nova event. The coverage i…
Catalog of 93 Nova Light Curves: Classification and Properties
Richard J. Strope, Bradley E. Schaefer, Arne A. Henden
We present a catalog of 93 very-well-observed nova light curves. The light curves were constructed from 229,796 individual measured magnitudes, with the median coverage extending t…
Discovery of the 2010 Eruption and the Pre-Eruption Light Curve for Recurrent Nova U Scorpii
Bradley E. Schaefer, Ashley Pagnotta, Limin Xiao +12
We report the discovery by B. G. Harris and S. Dvorak on JD 2455224.9385 (2010 Jan 28.4385 UT) of the predicted eruption of the recurrent nova U Scorpii (U Sco). We also report on…
On the Orbital Period Change in the Recurrent Nova U Scorpii
Rebecca G. Martin, Mario Livio, Bradley E. Schaefer
The orbital period of the recurrent nova U Sco has been observed to decrease during the 1999 outburst. In an outburst mass is ejected from the surface of the white dwarf. The separ…
Novae With Long-Lasting Supersoft Emission That Drive a High Accretion Rate
Bradley E. Schaefer, Andrew C. Collazzi
We identify a new class of novae characterized by the post-eruption quiescent light curve being more than roughly a factor of ten brighter than the pre-eruption light curve. Eight…
GRB 081008: from burst to afterglow and the transition phase in between
F. Yuan, P. Schady, J. L. Racusin +30
We present a multi-wavelength study of GRB 081008, at redshift 1.967, by Swift, ROTSE-III and GROND. Compared to other Swift GRBs, GRB 081008 has a typical gamma-ray isotropic equi…
