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…
Optical spectroscopy of Be/gamma-ray binaries
R. K. Zamanov, K. A. Stoyanov, J. Marti +4
We report optical spectroscopic observations of the Be/gamma-ray binaries LSI+61303, MWC 148 and MWC 656. The peak separation and equivalent widths of prominent emission lines (H-a…
Nova light curves from the Solar Mass Ejection Imager (SMEI) - II. The extended catalog
R. Hounsell, M. J. Darnley, M. F. Bode +10
We present the results from observing nine Galactic novae in eruption with the Solar Mass Ejection Imager (SMEI) between 2004 and 2009. While many of these novae reached peak magni…
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…
Swift observations of the March 2011 outburst of the cataclysmic variable NSV 1436: a probable dwarf nova (Research Note)
J. P. Osborne, K. L. Page, A. A. Henden +7
The March 2011 outburst of the poorly-studied cataclysmic variable NSV 1436 offered an opportunity to decide between dwarf nova and recurrent nova classifications. We use seven dai…
