Giants in the globular cluster omega Centauri: dust production, mass loss and distance
Iain McDonald, Jacco Th. van Loon, Leen Decin +5
We present spectral energy distribution modelling of 6875 stars in omega Centauri, obtaining stellar luminosities and temperatures by fitting literature photometry to state-of-the-…
High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy of the evolving shock in the 2006 outburst of RS Ophiuchi
J. -U. Ness, J. J. Drake, S. Starrfield +9
The evolution of the 2006 outburst of the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi was followed with 12 X-ray grating observations with Chandra and XMM-Newton. We present detailed spectral analy…
Swift Observations of Shock Evolution in RS Ophiuchi
M. F. Bode, J. P. Osborne, K. L. Page +11
Our \textit{Swift} observations of RS Oph form an unprecedented X-ray dataset to undertake investigations of both the central source and the interaction of the outburst ejecta with…
Hubble Space Telescope Imaging of the Expanding Nebular Remnant of the 2006 Outburst of RS Ophiuchi
D. J. Harman, M. F. Bode, M. J. Darnley +7
We report {\it Hubble Space Telescope} imaging obtained 155 days and 449 days after the 2006 outburst of RS Ophiuchi. Both epochs show evidence of extended emission, consistent wit…
How peculiar is the "peculiar variable" DZ Crucis (Nova Cru 2003)?
M. T. Rushton, A. Evans, S. P. S. Eyres +2
The variable star DZ Cru was thought to be a nova when it was discovered in eruption in 2003 August. This explanation was later challenged, however, when the first spectra of the o…
A Spitzer Space Telescope Atlas of omega Centauri: The Stellar Population, Mass Loss, and the Intracluster Medium
Martha L. Boyer, Iain McDonald, Jacco Th. van Loon +4
We present a Spitzer Space Telescope imaging survey of the most massive Galactic globular cluster, omega Centauri, and investigate stellar mass loss at low metallicity and the intr…
