On the Observability of Recurrent Nova Super-Remnants
M. W. Healy-Kalesh, M. J. Darnley, E. J. Harvey +5
The nova super-remnant (NSR) surrounding M31N 2008-12a (12a), the annually erupting recurrent nova (RN), is the only known example of this phenomenon. As this structure has grown a…
Nova LMC 2009a as observed with XMM-Newton, compared with other novae
Marina Orio, Andrej Dobrotka, Ciro Pinto +9
We examine four high resolution reflection grating spectrometers (RGS) spectra of the February 2009 outburst of the luminous recurrent nova LMC 2009a. They were very complex and ri…
Deep XMM-Newton observations of the northern disk of M31 II: Tracing the hot interstellar medium
Patrick J. Kavanagh, Manami Sasaki, Dieter Breitschwerdt +10
Aims: We use new deep XMM-Newton observations of the northern disk of M 31 to trace the hot interstellar medium (ISM) in unprecedented detail and to characterise the physical prope…
What we learn from the X-ray grating spectra of Nova SMC 2016
M. Orio, J. -U. Ness, A. Dobrotka +17
Nova SMC 2016 has been the most luminous nova known in the direction of the Magellanic Clouds. It turned into a very luminous supersoft X-ray source between day 16 and 28 after the…
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…
