Red novae, their progenitors, and remnants
Tomasz Kaminski, Nadejda Blagorodnova
Red novae or luminous red novae are a class of optical transients that have emerged over the past two decades. They occupy an intermediate luminosity regime between classical novae…
Dynamical binary interactions in the 2040s
Nadejda Blagorodnova, Ondřej Pejcha, Tomek Kamiński +15
Dynamical binary interactions such as common envelope (CE) evolution or stellar mergers are a critical phase in the formation of a wide variety of binary phenomena, ranging from bl…
Constraining the physical structure of the circumstellar environment of V838 Monocerotis remnant
Muhammad Zain Mobeen, Tomasz Kamiński, Stephen Potter
V838 Monocerotis (V838 Mon) erupted in 2002 as a luminous red nova after which it cooled and began to form dust. The remnant is predicted to become a blue straggler. Interferometri…
OGLE-2002-BLG-360: a dusty anomaly among red nova remnants
T. Steinmetz, T. Kamiński, C. Melis +4
OGLE-2002-BLG-360 is an example of a Galactic red nova, the aftermath of a non-compact stellar merger. The dusty nature of the circumstellar environment makes observations of this…
Discovery of ionized circumstellar gas emission around the long-period Cepheid Carinae with ALMA
V. Hocdé, T. Kamiński, M. Lewis +3
Cepheid circumstellar emissions have previously been detected via both infrared excess and infrared interferometric observations at a few stellar radii. Those studies have shown th…
On the nature of Nova 1670 (CK Vulpeculae): a merger of a red giant with a helium white dwarf
Romuald Tylenda, Tomek Kamiński, Radek Smolec
Nova 1670 is a historical transient bearing strong similarities to a recently-recognized type of stellar eruptions known as red novae, which are thought to be powered by stellar me…
A bipolar structure and shocks surrounding the stellar-merger remnant V1309 Scorpii
T. Steinmetz, T. Kamiński, M. Schmidt +1
Context. V1309 Sco is an example of a red nova, a product of the merger between non-compact stars. V1309 Sco is particularly important within the class of red novae due to the abun…
Reconstructing the mid-infrared environment in the stellar merger remnant V838 Monocerotis
Muhammad Zain Mobeen, Tomasz Kamiński, Alexis Matter +15
V838 Mon is a stellar merger remnant that erupted in 2002 in a luminous red novae event. Although it is well studied in the optical, near infrared and submillimeter regimes, its st…
The ESO's Extremely Large Telescope Working Groups
Paolo Padovani, Michele Cirasuolo, Remco van der Burg +82
Since 2005 ESO has been working with its community and industry to develop an extremely large optical/infrared telescope. ESO's Extremely Large Telescope, or ELT for short, is a re…
