Lithium in coalesced non-compact stars
Tomek Kamiński, Mirek Schmidt, Marcin Hajduk +3
Context. Galactic red novae are thought to be produced in stellar mergers between non-compact stars, such as main-sequence stars and cool giants. They are hoped to help in explaini…
Vibrationally excited HCN transitions in circumstellar envelopes of carbon-rich AGB stars
Manali Jeste, Yan Gong, Ka Tat Wong +3
Context. HCN is the most abundant molecule after H and CO in the circumstellar envelopes (CSEs) of carbon-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. Its rotational lines withi…
Catching the Butterfly and the Homunculus of Carinae with ALMA
Luis A. Zapata, Laurent Loinard, Manuel Fernández-López +7
The nature and origin of the molecular gas component located in the circumstellar vicinity of Carinae are still far from being completely understood. Here, we present Atacama L…
The mid-infrared environment of the stellar merger remnant V838 Monocerotis
Muhammad Zain Mobeen, Tomasz Kamiński, Alexis Matter +2
In 2002, V838 Monocerotis (V838 Mon) erupted in a red novae event which has been interpreted to be a stellar merger. Soon after reaching peak luminosity, it began to cool, and its…
V838 Monocerotis as seen by ALMA: a remnant of a binary merger in a triple system
Tomek Kamiński, Romuald Tylenda, Aleksandra Kiljan +6
V838 Mon erupted in 2002 quickly becoming the prototype of a new type of stellar eruptions known today as (luminous) red novae. The red nova outbursts are thought to be caused by s…
International observational campaign of the 2014 eclipse of EE Cep
D. Pieńkowski, C. Gałan, T. Tomov +64
Context. EE Cep is one of few eclipsing binary systems with a dark, dusty disk around an invisible object similar to ε Aur. The system is characterized by grey and asymmetric eclip…
Elemental abundances in the remnant of the ancient eruption of CK Vulpeculae
R. Tylenda, T. Kamiński, A. Mehner
CK Vul or Nova 1670 is an enigmatic eruptive object which underwent a stellar-merger event recorded by seventeenth-century observers. Its remnant was recently recovered at submilli…
ALMA monitoring of mm line variation in IRC+10216: I. Overview of millimeter variability
J. H. He, T. Kamiński, R. E. Mennickent +7
Temporal variation of millimeter lines is a new direction of research for evolved stars. It has the potential to probe the dynamical wind launching processes from time dimension. W…
Evolution of the stellar-merger red nova V1309 Scorpii: SED analysis
R. Tylenda, T. Kamiński
One very important object for understanding the nature of red novae is V1309 Sco. Its pre-outburst observations showed that, before its red-nova eruption in 2008, it was a contact…
V1309 Scorpii: merger of a contact binary
R. Tylenda, M. Hajduk, T. Kamiński +8
Stellar mergers are expected to take place in numerous circumstences in the evolution of stellar systems. In particular, they are considered as a plausible origin of stellar erupti…
Keck/HIRES spectroscopy of V838 Monocerotis in October 2005
T. Kamiński, M. Schmidt, R. Tylenda +2
V838 Mon erupted at the beginning of 2002 becoming an extremely luminous star. Among various scenarios proposed to explain the nature of the outburst the most promising is a stella…
