A Recurrent Nova Super-Remnant in the Andromeda Galaxy
M. J. Darnley, R. Hounsell, T. J. O'Brien +11
Here we report that the most rapidly recurring nova, M31N 2008-12a, which erupts annually, is surrounded by a "nova super-remnant" which demonstrates that M31N 2008-12a has erupted…
M31N 2008-12a - the remarkable recurrent nova in M31: Pan-chromatic observations of the 2015 eruption
M. J. Darnley, M. Henze, M. F. Bode +52
The Andromeda Galaxy recurrent nova M31N 2008-12a had been observed in eruption ten times, including yearly eruptions from 2008-2014. With a measured recurrence period of $P_\mathr…
Exploring the Role of Globular Cluster Specific Frequency on the Nova Rates in Three Virgo Elliptical Galaxies
C. Curtin, A. W. Shafter, C. J. Pritchet +3
It has been proposed that a galaxy's nova rate might be enhanced by the production of nova progenitor binaries in the dense cores of its globular clusters (GCs). To explore this id…
A remarkable recurrent nova in M31 - The optical observations
M. J. Darnley, S. C. Williams, M. F. Bode +5
Context: In late November 2013 a fifth eruption in five years of the M31 recurrent nova M31N 2008-12a was announced. Aims: In this Letter we address the optical lightcurve and prog…
Extragalactic Nova Populations
A. W. Shafter, C. Curtin, C. J. Pritchet +2
Nova rates have now been measured for more than a dozen galaxies spanning a wide range of Hubble types. When normalized to the infrared K-band luminosity of the galaxy, the luminos…
The Nova Rate in NGC 2403
J. R. Franck, A. W. Shafter, K. Hornoch +1
A multi-epoch H-alpha survey of the late-type spiral galaxy NGC 2403 has been completed in order to determine its nova rate. A total of 9 nova candidates were discovered in 48 nigh…
Exquisite Nova Light Curves from the Solar Mass Ejection Imager (SMEI)
R. Hounsell, M. F. Bode, P. P. Hick +10
We present light curves of three classical novae (KT Eridani, V598 Puppis, V1280 Scorpii) and one recurrent nova (RS Ophiuchi) derived from data obtained by the Solar Mass Ejection…
The Orbital Period of V368 Aquilae (Nova Aquilae 1936 No. 2)
E. Marin, A. W. Shafter
We report observations of the eclipsing classical nova V368 Aql (Nova Aql 1936 No. 2). These data reveal that the orbital period previously published by Diaz & Bruch is an alias of…
Optical and X-ray Observations of M31N 2007-12b: An Extragalactic Recurrent Nova with a Detected Progenitor?
M. F. Bode, M. J. Darnley, A. W. Shafter +4
We report combined optical and X-ray observations of nova M31N 2007-12b. Optical spectroscopy obtained 5 days after the 2007 December outburst shows evidence of very high ejection…
HST Observations of IP Pegasi in Quiescence: The Pre-Eclipse Spectrum
D. W. Hoard, Raymundo Baptista, Michael Eracleous +5
We present time-resolved HST UV spectroscopy and ground-based optical photometry of the dwarf nova IP Peg in a quiescent state. The observations were obtained prior to an eclipse,…
