Evolution of the recent high-accretion state of the recurrent nova T CrB: HST, Swift, NuSTAR, and XMM-Newton observations
G. J. M. Luna, N. P. M. Kuin, K. Mukai +3
As the recurrent nova T Coronae Borealis (T CrB) approaches its next predicted thermonuclear eruption, it is currently exhibiting a "super-active state" (SAS) characterized by enha…
Fermi-LAT detections of novae V1723 Sco and V6598 Sgr
P. Fauverge, P. Jean, K. Sokolovsky +8
Context. Numerous classical novae have been observed to emit γ-rays (E > 100 MeV) detected by the Fermi-LAT. The prevailing hypothesis attributes this emission to the interaction o…
A new way to find symbiotic stars: accretion disc detection with continuum survey photometry
A. B. Lucy, J. L. Sokoloski, G. J. M. Luna +10
Symbiotic stars are binaries in which a cool and evolved star of luminosity class I-III accretes onto a smaller companion. However, direct accretion signatures like disc flickering…
Transient and asymmetric dust structures in the TeV-bright nova RS Oph revealed by spectropolarimetry
Y. Nikolov, G. J. M. Luna, K. A. Stoyanov +4
A long-standing question related to nova eruptions is how these eruptions can lead to the formation of dust despite the ostensibly inhospitable environment for dust within the hot,…
Catching a nova X-ray/UV flash in the visible? Early spectroscopy of the extremely slow Nova Velorum 2022 (Gaia22alz)
E. Aydi, L. Chomiuk, J. Mikołajewska +22
We present early spectral observations of the very slow Galactic nova Gaia22alz, over its gradual rise to peak brightness that lasted 180 days. During the first 50 days, when the n…
Taking a break: paused accretion in the symbiotic binary RT Cru
A. Pujol, G. J. M. Luna, K. Mukai +10
Symbiotic binaries sometimes hide their symbiotic nature for significant periods of time. There is mounting observational evidence that in those symbiotics that are powered solely…
