When will T Coronae Borealis next erupt as a nova? Constraints from recurrence, orbital phase, and accretion-state evolution

Songpeng Pei, Xiaowan Zhang, Renzhi Su +6

T Coronae Borealis (T CrB) is the nearest symbiotic recurrent nova and is now intensively monitored for its next eruption. We combine three constraints on the eruption time: histor…

Lack of Significant Orbital-Phase Locking in the Active Phases of the Recurrent Nova T CrB

Songpeng Pei, Xiaowan Zhang, Renzhi Su +6

T Coronae Borealis (T CrB) is a symbiotic recurrent nova (RN) that exhibits both nova eruptions and long-term active phases resembling superoutbursts and normal outbursts. Motivate…

Multi-wavelength study of the pre-eruption dip in the recurrent nova T Coronae Borealis preceding imminent nova eruption

Songpeng Pei, Xiaowan Zhang, Renzhi Su +6

We present a multi-wavelength study of the symbiotic recurrent nova (RN) T Coronae Borealis (T CrB) using Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) / X-Ray Telescope (XRT) / UltraViolet Op…

Temporal variability and obscuration effects in the X-ray emission of classical nova V339 Delphini (Nova Delphini 2013)

Songpeng Pei, Nataly Ospina, Xiaowan Zhang +4

In this study, we present a detailed analysis of public archival soft X-ray data on the classical nova V339 Delphini (Nova Del 2013) during its outburst, obtained using the {\it Ch…

Timing and spectral analysis of GK Persei during the 2010 dwarf nova outburst

Songpeng Pei, Xiaowan Zhang, Qiang Li +3

GK Persei, an old nova and intermediate polar (IP), exhibited a dwarf nova (DN) outburst in 2010. This outburst was extensively observed by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, begi…

Swift monitoring of GK Persei during the 2018 dwarf nova outburst

Songpeng Pei, Marina Orio, Xiaowan Zhang

The old nova and intermediate polar (IP) GK Persei underwent one of its recurrent dwarf nova (DN) outbursts in 2018. We proposed monitoring it in UV and X-rays with the Neil Gehrel…
