Type II intermediate-luminosity optical transients (ILOTs)
Amit Kashi, Noam Soker
We propose that in a small fraction of intermediate luminosity optical transients (ILOTs) powered by a strongly interacting binary system, the ejected mass in the equatorial plane…
Accretion at the periastron passage of Eta Carinae
Amit Kashi
We present high resolution numerical simulations of the colliding wind system Carinae, showing accretion onto the secondary star close to periastron passage. Our hydrodynamical…
An intermediate-luminosity-optical-transient (ILOT) model for the young stellar object ASASSN-15qi
Amit Kashi, Noam Soker
We construct a scenario where the outburst of the young-stellar-object ASASSN-15qi is an intermediate luminosity optical transient (ILOT). In this scenario a sub-Jupiter young plan…
Simulating the Onset of Grazing Envelope Evolution of Binary Stars
Sagiv Shiber, Amit Kashi, Noam Soker
We present the first three-dimensional gas-dynamical simulations of the grazing envelope evolution (GEE) of stars, with the goal of exploring the basic flow properties and the role…
Explaining Two Recent Intermediate Luminosity Optical Transients (ILOTs) by a Binary Interaction and Jets
Noam Soker, Amit Kashi
We propose that two recent intermediate luminosity optical transients (ILOTs), M31LRN 2015 and SN 2015bh (SNHunt 275; PTF 13efv) can be accounted for with a stellar binary model in…
Reverberation Mapping of the Broad Line Region: application to a hydrodynamical line-driven disk wind solution
Tim Waters, Amit Kashi, Daniel Proga +3
The latest analysis efforts in reverberation mapping are beginning to allow reconstruction of echo images (or velocity-delay maps) that encode information about the structure and k…
