A new way to find symbiotic stars: accretion disc detection with continuum survey photometry

A. B. Lucy, J. L. Sokoloski, G. J. M. Luna +10

Symbiotic stars are binaries in which a cool and evolved star of luminosity class I-III accretes onto a smaller companion. However, direct accretion signatures like disc flickering…

The Symbiotic Recurrent Nova V745 Sco at Radio Wavelengths

Isabella Molina, Laura Chomiuk, Justin D. Linford +14

V745 Sco is a Galactic symbiotic recurrent nova with nova eruptions in 1937, 1989 and 2014. We study the behavior of V745 Sco at radio wavelengths (0.6-37,GHz), covering both its 1…

Symbiotic stars in X-rays IV: XMM-Newton, Swift and TESS observations

Isabel J. Lima, G. Juan M. Luna, Koji Mukai +7

White dwarf symbiotic binaries are detected in X-rays with luminosities in the range of 10 to 10 lumcgs. Their X-ray emission arises either from the accretion disk bo…

X-ray measurement of a high-mass white dwarf and its spin for the intermediate polar IGR J18434-0508

Julian Gerber, Jeremy Hare, John A. Tomsick +8

IGR J18434-0508 is a Galactic Intermediate Polar (IP) type Cataclysmic Variable (CV) previously classified through optical spectroscopy. The source is already known to have a hard…

Expanding Bipolar X-ray Structure After the 2006 Eruption of RS Oph

R. Montez, G. J. M. Luna, K. Mukai +2

We report on the detection and analysis of extended X-ray emission by the {\it Chandra} X-ray Observatory stemming from the 2006 eruption of the recurrent novae RS Oph. The extende…

Measuring the masses of Intermediate Polars with NuSTAR: V709 Cas, NY Lup and V1223 Sgr

A. W. Shaw, C. O. Heinke, K. Mukai +3

The X-ray spectra of intermediate polars can be modelled to give a direct measurement of white dwarf mass. Here we fit accretion column models to NuSTAR spectra of three intermedia…

Symbiotic stars in X-rays

G. J. M. Luna, J. L. Sokoloski, K. Mukai +1

Until recently, symbiotic binary systems in which a white dwarf accretes from a red giant were thought to be mainly a soft X-ray population. Here we describe the detection with the…

The Fall and the Rise of X-rays from Dwarf Novae in Outburst: RXTE Observations of VW Hydri and WW Ceti

Derek Fertig, Koji Mukai, Thomas Nelson +1

In a dwarf nova, the accretion disk around the white dwarf is a source of ultraviolet, optical, and infrared photons, but is never hot enough to emit X-rays. Observed X-rays instea…

Swift Observations of Hard X-ray Emitting White Dwarfs in Symbiotic Stars

J. A. Kennea, K. Mukai, J. L. Sokoloski +4

The X-ray emission from most accreting white dwarfs (WDs) in symbiotic binary stars is quite soft. Several symbiotic WDs, however, produce strong X-ray emission at energies greater…
