Accretion in Binary Systems with Slow Stellar Winds

Jesús A. Toalá, Emilio Tejeda, Raúl F. Maldonado +1

Wind accretion in binary systems is commonly described using the Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton (BHL) formalism. However, its standard implementation fails in the slow-wind regime, where th…

The Influence of the Accretion Disc Structure on X-ray Spectral States in Symbiotic Binaries

Jesús A. Toalá, Diego A. Vasquez-Torres

Symbiotic stars are binary systems where a white dwarf (WD) accretes material from the wind of an evolved, late-type companion. X-ray-emitting symbiotic systems are classified into…

Tiānguān ( Tau) as a binary system consisting of a Be-star and an accreting White Dwarf: opening a gate to understanding enigmatic Cas analogues

Jesús A. Toalá, Lidia M. Oskinova, Diego A. Vasquez-Torres

The analogues of Cassiopea are binary early type Be stars which are X-ray bright with hard thermal spectra. The nature of companions in these stars and mechanisms of their X-ra…

Y Gem, a symbiotic star outshone by its asymptotic giant branch primary component

M. A. Guerrero, D. A. Vasquez-Torres, J. B. Rodríguez-González +2

A considerable number of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars exhibit UV excess and/or X-ray emission that indicates a binary companion. AGB stars are so bright that they easily out…

Accretion onto WD 2226210, the central star of the Helix Nebula

S. Estrada-Dorado, M. A. Guerrero, J. A. Toalá +4

The central star of the Helix Nebula, WD 2226210 presents enigmatic hard X-ray emission and mid-IR excess. The latter has been attributed to a dusty disk or a cloud-like structu…

The impact of periastron passage on the X-ray and optical properties of the Symbiotic System R Aquarii

D. A. Vásquez-Torres, J. A. Toalá, A. Sacchi +4

Multi-epoch Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of the symbiotic system R Aquarii (R Aqr) spanning 22 yr are analysed by means of a reflection model produced by an accretion disc.…

The X-ray rise and fall of the Recurrent Symbiotic System T CrB

Jesús A. Toalá, Omaira González-Martín, Andrea Sacchi +1

We present the analysis of publicly available NuSTAR, Suzaku and XMM-Newton observations of the symbiotic recurrent nova T CrB covering the 2006.77-2022.66 yr period. The X-ray spe…

The SN 2023ixf Progenitor in M101: I. Infrared Variability

Monika D. Soraisam, Tamás Szalai, Schuyler D. Van Dyk +6

Observational evidence points to a red supergiant (RSG) progenitor for SN 2023ixf. The progenitor candidate has been detected in archival images at wavelengths (>0.6 micron) where…
