Near-infrared spectroscopy of RS Ophiuchi in 2021: the calm, the storm, and the abatement
C. E. Woodward, A. Evans, D. P. K. Banerjee +4
We present near-infrared (NIR) observations of the 2021 eruption of the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi. The dataset provides both pre- and post-eruption perspectives on the eruption, a…
Hydrodynamic Predictions for the Next Outburst of T Coronae Borealis: It will be the Brightest Classical or Recurrent Nova Ever Observed in X-rays
S. Starrfield, M. Bose, C. E. Woodward +11
T Coronae Borealis (TCrB) is a recurrent nova (RN) with recorded outbursts in 1866, and 1946 and possible outbursts in 1217 and 1787. It is predicted to explode again in 2025 or 20…
Hydrodynamic Simulations of Oxygen-Neon Classical Novae as Galactic Li Producers and Potential Accretion Induced Collapse Progenitors
Sumner Starrfield, Maitrayee Bose, Christian Iliadis +3
We report on studies of Classical Nova (CN) explosions where we follow the evolution of thermonuclear runaways (TNRs) on oxygen-neon (ONe) white dwarfs (WDs). Using NOVA, a one-dim…
Hydrodynamic Simulations of Classical Novae; CO and ONe White Dwarfs are Supernova Ia Progenitors
S. Starrfield, M. Bose, C. Iliadis +3
Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) and Symbiotic Binaries are close (or not so close) binary star systems which contain both a white dwarf (WD) primary and a larger cooler secondary star…
Carbon-Oxygen Classical Novae are Galactic Li Producers as well as Potential Supernova Ia Progenitors
Sumner Starrfield, Maitrayee Bose, Christian Iliadis +3
We report on studies of Classical Nova (CN) explosions where we follow the evolution of thermonuclear runaways (TNRs) on Carbon Oxygen (CO) white dwarfs (WDs). We vary both the mas…
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…
A Detailed Observational Analysis of V1324 Sco, the Most Gamma-Ray Luminous Classical Nova to Date
Thomas Finzell, Laura Chomiuk, Brian D. Metzger +32
It has recently been discovered that some, if not all, classical novae emit GeV gamma rays during outburst, but the mechanisms involved in the production of the gamma rays are stil…
Rise and fall of the dust shell of the classical nova V339 Delphini
A. Evans, D. P. K. Banerjee, R. D. Gehrz +16
We present infrared spectroscopy of the classical nova V339 Delphini, obtained over a year period. The infrared emission lines were initially symmetrical, with HWHM velocit…
Elemental Abundances in the Ejecta of Old Classical Novae from Late-Epoch Spitzer Spectra
L. Andrew Helton, Robert D. Gehrz, Charles E. Woodward +7
We present Spitzer Space Telescope mid-infrared IRS spectra, supplemented by ground-based optical observations, of the classical novae V1974 Cyg, V382 Vel, and V1494 Aql more than…
Solid-phase C_60 in the peculiar binary XX Oph?
A. Evans, J. Th. van Loon, C. E. Woodward +8
We present infrared spectra of the binary XX Oph obtained with the Infrared Spectrograph on the Spitzer Space Telescope. The data show some evidence for the presence of solid C_60…
Multiple Major Outbursts from a Restless Luminous Blue Variable in NGC 3432
A. Pastorello, M. T. Botticella, C. Trundle +16
We present new photometric and spectroscopic observations of an unusual luminous blue variable (LBV) in NGC 3432, covering three major outbursts in October 2008, April 2009 and Nov…
The peculiar dust shell of Nova DZ Cru (2003)
A. Evans, R. D. Gehrz, C. E. Woodward +10
We present Spitzer Space Telescope observations of the "peculiar variable" DZ Cru, identified by Rushton et al. (2008, MNRAS, 386, 289) as a classical nova. A dust shell, on which…
