On the nature of Nova 1670 (CK Vulpeculae): a merger of a red giant with a helium white dwarf
Romuald Tylenda, Tomek Kamiński, Radek Smolec
Nova 1670 is a historical transient bearing strong similarities to a recently-recognized type of stellar eruptions known as red novae, which are thought to be powered by stellar me…
A search for cool molecular gas in GK Persei and other classical novae
Tomek Kaminski, Helena J. Mazurek, Karl M. Menten +1
Detecting molecular line emission from classical nova remnants has the potential of revealing information on the composition of the ejecta, in particular, it can deliver accurate i…
V838 Monocerotis as seen by ALMA: a remnant of a binary merger in a triple system
Tomek Kamiński, Romuald Tylenda, Aleksandra Kiljan +6
V838 Mon erupted in 2002 quickly becoming the prototype of a new type of stellar eruptions known today as (luminous) red novae. The red nova outbursts are thought to be caused by s…
Molecular remnant of Nova 1670 (CK Vulpeculae). II. A three-dimensional view on the gas distribution and velocity field
T. Kamiński, W. Steffen, V. Bujarrabal +3
CK Vul is the remnant of an energetic eruption known as Nova 1670 that is thought to be caused by a stellar merger. The remnant is composed of (1) a large hourglass nebula of recom…
Molecular remnant of Nova 1670 (CK Vulpeculae): I. Properties and enigmatic origin of the gas
T. Kaminski, K. M. Menten, R. Tylenda +5
CK Vul erupted in 1670 and is considered a stellar-merger candidate. Its remnant contains a molecular component of surprisingly rich composition. We present interferometric line su…
SiO maser astrometry of the red transient V838 Monocerotis
Gisela N. Ortiz-Leon, Karl M. Menten, Tomasz Kaminski +3
We present multi-epoch observations with the VLBA of SiO maser emission in the v=1, J=1-0 transition at 43 GHz from the remnant of the red nova V838 Mon. We model the positions of…
