Early Emergence of SSS emission in RS Oph
J. -U. Ness, J. P. Osborne, M. Orio +3
Early in the 2006 outburst of the recurrent nova RS Oph, Swift detected the onset of the super-soft-source (SSS) phase. An XMM-Newton observation on day 26.1 revealed an unusual so…
X-ray Observations of Nova Scorpii 2023 (V1716 Sco) in Outburst
John Worley, Marina Orio, Andrej Dobrotka +5
Nova Scorpii 2023 was first detected as a luminous supersoft X-ray source (SSS) 93 days after outburst and continued emitting soft X-rays for over two months, until it was too clos…
X-ray observations of Nova Sco 2023: Spectroscopic evidence of charge exchange
Sharon Mitrani, Ehud Behar, Marina Orio +1
The super-soft source (SSS) phase of a nova eruption, observed a few days after the outburst, usually displays an absorbed X-ray thermal continuum with absorption features, emitted…
Mixing of hot shocked plasma with cold gas in Nova YZ Ret 2020
Sharon Mitrani, Ehud Behar, Jeremy J. Drake +5
The origin of bright X-ray emission lines that appear late in a nova eruption remains largely a puzzle. We present two high-resolution X-ray grating spectra of the classical nova Y…
Insights into density and location diagnostics of photo-ionized outflows in X-ray binaries
Sharon Mitrani, Ehud Behar
The population of meta-stable levels is key to high precision density diagnostics of astrophysical plasmas. In photo-ionized plasmas, density is used to infer the distance from the…
