H_alpha observations of the Be/X-ray binary MWC 656
R. Zamanov, V. Marchev, K. A. Stoyanov +8
Context. MWC 656 is a Be/X-ray binary identified as an emission-line object, X-ray and radio source and might be a weak gamma-ray source, harbouring an enigmatic secondary componen…
Is Mira B a low mass white dwarf?
R. K. Zamanov, V. Irincheva, B. Spassov +8
We report photometric observations in Johnson B and V bands of the short term variability (flickering) of Mira (omicron Ceti). The observations were performed during 7 nights in th…
Red giant component of the recurrent nova T Coronae Borealis
R. K. Zamanov, D. Marchev, V. Marchev +5
We performed simultaneous V band photometry and spectroscopic observations of the recurrent nova T CrB and estimate the V band magnitude of the red giant. We find for the red giant…
Size of the accretion disc in the recurrent nova T CrB
R. K. Zamanov, K. A. Stoyanov, V. Marchev +7
We present high resolution (0.06 A/px) spectroscopic observations of the recurrent nova T Coronae Borealis obtained during the last 1.5 years (September 2022 -- January 2024), with…
Accretion in the recurrent nova T CrB: Linking the superactive state to the predicted outburst
R. Zamanov, S. Boeva, G. Y. Latev +6
Context: T CrB (NOVA CrB 1946) is a famous recurrent nova with a recurrence timescale of 80 years. Aims: We aim to estimate the colours, luminosity, and mass-accretion rate for T C…
Optical spectroscopy of the Be/black hole binary MWC656 -- interaction of a black hole with a circumstellar disc
R. K. Zamanov, K. A. Stoyanov, D. Marchev +7
We present new spectroscopic observations of the Be/black hole binary MWC 656 obtained during the period 2015 - 2021. We measure the equivalent width of H (EW), H (…
Breaking the habit - the peculiar 2016 eruption of the unique recurrent nova M31N 2008-12a
M. Henze, M. J. Darnley, S. C. Williams +70
Since its discovery in 2008, the Andromeda galaxy nova M31N 2008-12a has been observed in eruption every single year. This unprecedented frequency indicates an extreme object, with…
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…
