The Rise of Nova V1674 Herculis

Robert M. Quimby, Brian D. Metzger, Ken J. Shen +3

Observational constraints on classical novae are heavily biased to phases near optical peak and later because of the simple fact that novae are not typically discovered until they…

The multi-wavelength view of shocks in the fastest nova V1674 Her

K. V. Sokolovsky, T. J. Johnson, S. Buson +41

Classical novae are shock-powered multi-wavelength transients triggered by a thermonuclear runaway on an accreting white dwarf. V1674 Her is the fastest nova ever recorded (time to…

Inflows, Outflows, and a Giant Donor in the Remarkable Recurrent Nova M31N 2008-12a? - Hubble Space Telescope Photometry of the 2015 Eruption

M. J. Darnley, R. Hounsell, P. Godon +14

The recurrent nova M31N 2008-12a experiences annual eruptions, contains a near-Chandrasekhar mass white dwarf, and has the largest mass accretion rate in any nova system. In this p…

X-Ray Flashes in Recurrent Novae: M31N 2008-12a and the Implications of the Swift Non-detection

Mariko Kato, Hideyuki Saio, Martin Henze +10

Models of nova outbursts suggest that an X-ray flash should occur just after hydrogen ignition. However, this X-ray flash has never been observationally confirmed. We present four…

A remarkable recurrent nova in M 31: The predicted 2014 outburst in X-rays with Swift

M. Henze, J. -U. Ness, M. J. Darnley +7

The M 31 nova M31N 2008-12a was recently found to be a recurrent nova (RN) with a recurrence time of about 1 year. This is by far the fastest recurrence time scale of any known RNe…

A remarkable recurrent nova in M31 - The X-ray observations

M. Henze, J. -U. Ness, M. J. Darnley +5

Another outburst of the recurrent M31 nova M31N 2008-12a was announced in late November 2013. Optical data suggest an unprecedentedly short recurrence time of approximately one yea…
