The first nova eruption in a novalike variable: YZ Ret as seen in X-rays and gamma-rays

Kirill V. Sokolovsky, Kwan-Lok Li, Raimundo Lopes de Oliveira +16

Peaking at 3.7 mag on 2020 July 11, YZ Ret was the second-brightest nova of the decade. The nova's moderate proximity (2.7 kpc from Gaia) provided an opportunity to explore its mul…

Classical Novae at Radio Wavelengths

Laura Chomiuk, Justin D. Linford, Elias Aydi +20

We present radio observations (1--40 GHz) for 36 classical novae, representing data from over five decades compiled from the literature, telescope archives, and our own programs. O…

X-ray Spectroscopy of the gamma-ray Brightest Nova V906 Car (ASASSN-18fv)

Kirill V. Sokolovsky, Koji Mukai, Laura Chomiuk +15

Shocks in gamma-ray emitting classical novae are expected to produce bright thermal and non-thermal X-rays. We test this prediction with simultaneous NuSTAR and Fermi/LAT observati…

X-ray evolution of the nova V959 Mon suggests a delayed ejection and a non-radiative shock

Thomas Nelson, Koji Mukai, Laura Chomiuk +7

X-ray observations of shocked gas in novae can provide a useful probe of the dynamics of the ejecta. Here we report on X-ray observations of the nova V959 Mon, which was also detec…

Supersoft X-ray emission from a white dwarf binary not powered by nuclear fusion

Thomas J. Maccarone, Thomas J. Nelson, Peter J. Brown +17

Supersoft X-ray sources are stellar objects which emit X-rays with temperatures of about 1 million Kelvin and luminosities well in excess of what can be produced by stellar coronae…

Dissecting a disk-instability outburst in a symbiotic star: , and observations of T Coronae Borealis during the rise to the "super-active" state

G. J. M. Luna, T. Nelson, K. Mukai +1

The current state of the recurrent nova T CrB has been observed with unprecedented detail. Previously published observations provide strong evidence that this state…
