The first nova eruption in a novalike variable: YZ Ret as seen in X-rays and gamma-rays

Kirill V. Sokolovsky, Kwan-Lok Li, Raimundo Lopes de Oliveira +16

Peaking at 3.7 mag on 2020 July 11, YZ Ret was the second-brightest nova of the decade. The nova's moderate proximity (2.7 kpc from Gaia) provided an opportunity to explore its mul…

Shocks and dust formation in nova V809 Cep

Aliya-Nur Babul, Jennifer L. Sokoloski, Laura Chomiuk +5

The discovery that many classical novae produce detectable GeV -ray emission has raised the question of the role of shocks in nova eruptions. Here we use radio observations of n…

A population of heavily reddened, optically missed novae from Palomar Gattini-IR: Constraints on the Galactic nova rate

Kishalay De, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Matthew J. Hankins +25

The nova rate in the Milky Way remains largely uncertain, despite its vital importance in constraining models of Galactic chemical evolution as well as understanding progenitor cha…

The synchrotron maser emission from relativistic magnetized shocks: Dependence on the pre-shock temperature

Aliya-Nur Babul, Lorenzo Sironi

Electromagnetic precursor waves generated by the synchrotron maser instability at relativistic magnetized shocks have been recently invoked to explain the coherent radio emission o…

Astro2020 Science White Paper: A Shocking Shift in Paradigm for Classical Novae

Laura Chomiuk, Elias Aydi, Aliya-Nur Babul +10

The discovery of GeV gamma-rays from classical novae has led to a reassessment of these garden-variety explosions, and highlighted their importance for understanding radiative shoc…
