Pre-nova Observations of T CrB: A view from the CHARA Array
Ryan Norris, Narsireddy Anugu, Thomas Gaudin +38
T CrB is a symbiotic recurrent nova consisting of a red giant and white dwarf with recent eruptions in 1866 and 1946 and an anticipated eruption in the mid 2020s. We report CHARA A…
TESS detection of periodic brightness variations during the rise of classical nova PGIR22akgylf
Kirill V. Sokolovsky, Elias Aydi, Konstantin Malanchev +14
Classical novae are transient events powered by thermonuclear burning in a layer of hydrogen-rich material accreted by a white dwarf from its binary companion. Most classical novae…
Shocks in the Symbiotic Recurrent Nova V3890 Sgr: VLBI Radio Imaging and Fermi GeV Gamma-Rays
Isabella Molina, Peter Craig, Rebecca Diesing +14
We present very long baseline interferometric (VLBI) radio imaging and Fermi/LAT GeV -ray observations of the 2019 eruption of the symbiotic recurrent nova V3890 Sgr.The VLBI i…
Multiple outflows and delayed ejections revealed by early imaging of novae
Elias Aydi, John D. Monnier, Antoine Mérand +39
Novae are thermonuclear eruptions on accreting white dwarfs in interacting binaries. Although most of the accreted envelope is expelled, the mechanism -- impulsive ejection, multip…
TESS photometry of the nova eruption in V606 Vul: asymmetric photosphere and multiple ejections?
Kirill V. Sokolovsky, Elias Aydi, Konstantin Malanchev +70
Lightcurves of many classical novae deviate from the canonical "fast rise - smooth decline" pattern and display complex variability behavior. We present the first TESS-space-photom…
