From Light to Sound: Spectroscopic Evolution & Sonification of the flaring Nova V612 Scuti
Pragati Acharya, Elias Aydi, Kirill V. Sokolovsky +17
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of the 2017 Galactic nova V612 Sct, whose optical evolution was marked by multiple unusually large maxima. The eruption includ…
Spectroscopic Analysis of the 2025 Eclipse of the Symbiotic Binary V1413 Aquilae
David Boyd, James Foster, Forrest Sims +12
We report on a coordinated campaign by amateur astronomers using a combination of high and low resolution spectroscopy to observe the 2025 eclipse of the symbiotic binary V1413 Aql…
HD 5501: A Rapidly Evolving Interacting Eclipsing Binary with a Variable Light Curve and H Emission
Richard O. Gray, Christopher. J. Corbally, Sean Curry +19
HD~5501, a hitherto little studied eclipsing binary with an early A-type primary, has been caught in a short-lived, astrophysically interesting phase of its binary evolution. Recen…
Photometry and Spectroscopy of the Symbiotic Binary V1413 Aquilae during the 2024 Eclipse
David Boyd, David Cejudo, James Foster +2
We report our photometric and spectroscopic observations and analysis of the 2024 eclipse of the symbiotic binary V1413 Aquilae. We found the system in a visually bright state and…
Spectral evolution of the narrow emission line components in optical during the 2022 nova eruption of U Scorpii
Katsuki Muraoka, Naoto Kojiguchi, Junpei Ito +20
There remains debate over whether the accretion disk survives or is entirely disrupted after the nova eruption. In our previous paper, Muraoka et al. (2024, PASJ, 76, 293) have pho…
A Dragon's Flame of Many Colours: Multi-wavelength Observations of Flares from the Active M Binary CR Draconis
James A. G. Jackman, Evgenya L. Shkolnik, R. O. Parke Loyd +9
We present the results of a multi-wavelength Pro-Am campaign to study the behaviour of flares from the active M1.5V star binary CR Draconis. CR Dra was observed with TESS 20-s phot…
TU Tau B: The Peculiar 'Eclipse' of a possible proto-Barium Giant
Richard O. Gray, Christopher J. Corbally, Michael M. Briley +26
TU Tau (= HD 38218 = HIP 27135) is a binary system consisting of a C-N carbon star primary and an A-type secondary. We report on new photometry and spectroscopy which tracked the r…
Comprehensive analysis of a symbiotic candidate V503 Her
J. Merc, R. Gális, M. Wolf +10
V503 Her was previously proposed as an eclipsing symbiotic candidate based on photometric behavior and spectroscopic appearance indicating the composite optical spectrum. To invest…
Combined Spectroscopic and Photometric Analysis of Flares in the Dwarf M Star EV Lacertae
David Boyd, Robert Buchheim, Sean Curry +6
We report results of an observing campaign to study the dwarf M flare star EV Lacertae. Between October 2021 and January 2022 we obtained concurrent B band photometry and low resol…
Spectroscopic and photometric analysis of symbiotic candidates -- I. Ten candidates on classical symbiotic stars
J. Merc, R. Gális, M. Wolf +10
Symbiotic stars belong to a group of interacting binaries that display a wide variety of phenomena, including prominent outbursts connected with mass transfer, as well as stellar w…
Discovery of an intermediate-luminosity red transient in M51 and its likely dust-obscured, infrared-variable progenitor
Jacob E. Jencson, Scott M. Adams, Howard E. Bond +49
We present the discovery of an optical transient (OT) in Messier 51, designated M51 OT2019-1 (also ZTF19aadyppr, AT 2019abn, ATLAS19bzl), by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). Th…
