Evidence for the merger hypothesis in V4332 Sgr: a low C/C ratio and multiple outbursts
D. P. K. Banerjee, A. Evans, Watson P. Varricatt +1
Following the detections of the first extragalactic ``Luminous Red Nova'' (LRN) M31 RV in 1989, and its first Galactic counterpart V4332~Sgr in 1994, there have been many discoveri…
Snowflakes in a furnace: formation of CO and dust in a recurrent nova eruption
D. P. K. Banerjee, C. E. Woodward, V. Joshi +7
We report the detection of carbon monoxide (CO) and dust, formed under hostile conditions, in recurrent nova V745 Sco about 8.7 days after its 2014 outburst. The formation of molec…
V445 Puppis -- Dustier than a Thousand Novae
D. P. K. Banerjee, A. Evans, C. E. Woodward +4
V445 Puppis, the only known Galactic helium nova, is a unique test-bed to verify supernova (SN) theories in the single degenerate channel that involve a white dwarf (WD) accreting…
Pluto's atmosphere in plateau phase since 2015 from a stellar occultation at Devasthal
Bruno Sicardy, Nagarhalli M. Ashok, Anandmayee Tej +13
A stellar occultation by Pluto was observed on 6 June 2020 with the 1.3-m and 3.6-m telescopes located at Devasthal, Nainital, India, using imaging systems in the I and H bands, re…
Early formation of carbon monoxide in the Centaurus A supernova SN 2016adj
D. P. K. Banerjee, Vishal Joshi, A. Evans +8
We present near-infrared spectroscopy of the NGC 5128 supernova SN 2016adj in the first 2 months following discovery. We report the detection of first overtone carbon monoxide emis…
The Temporal Development of Dust Formation and Destruction in Nova Sagittarii 2015#2 (V5668 Sgr): A Panchromatic Study
R. D. Gehrz, A. Evans, C. E. Woodward +15
We present 5-28 micron SOFIA FORECAST spectroscopy complemented by panchromatic X-ray through infrared observations of the CO nova V5668 Sgr documenting the formation and destructi…
