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…

Revisiting the Classics: On the Optical Colours of Novae as Standard Crayons

Peter Craig, Elias Aydi, Laura Chomiuk +9

We present a systematic study of the colours of novae over the course of their eruptions. Where possible, interstellar reddening was measured using the equivalent widths of…

The X-ray emission of gamma Cassiopeiae during the 2020-2021 disc eruption

Gregor Rauw, Yaël Nazé, Christian Motch +3

gamma Cas is known for its hard and intense X-ray emission that could trace accretion by a compact companion, wind interaction with a hot sub-dwarf companion, or magnetic interacti…

The orbit and stellar masses of the archetype colliding-wind binary WR 140

Joshua D. Thomas, Noel D. Richardson, J. J. Eldridge +33

We present updated orbital elements for the Wolf-Rayet (WR) binary WR\,140 (HD\,193793; WC7pd + O5.5fc). The new orbital elements were derived using previously published measuremen…
