The Effects of the pep Nuclear Reaction and Other Improvements in the Nuclear Reaction Rate Library on Simulations of the Classical Nova Outburst
S. Starrfield, C. Iliadis, W. R. Hix +2
We have continued our studies of the Classical Nova outburst by evolving TNRs on 1.25Msun and 1.35Msun WDs (ONeMg composition) under conditions which produce mass ejection and a ra…
The Effects of Changes in Reaction Rates on Simulations of Nova Explosions
S. Starrfield, C. Iliadis, W. R. Hix +2
Classical novae participate in the cycle of Galactic chemical evolution in which grains and metal enriched gas in their ejecta, supplementing those of supernovae, AGB stars, and Wo…
Surface Hydrogen Modeling of Super Soft X-ray Sources: Are They Supernova Ia Progenitors?
S. Starrfield, F. X. Timmes, W. R. Hix +3
Nova explosions occur on the white dwarf (WD) component of a Cataclysmic Variable stellar system which is accreting matter lost by a companion. A Type Ia supernova explosion is tho…
Modeling the Heating and Cooling of WZ Sagittae following the July 2001 Outburst
P. Godon, E. M. Sion, F. Cheng +5
FUSE and HST/STIS spectra of the dwarf nova WZ Sge, obtained during and following the early superoutburst of July 2001 over a time span of 20 months, monitor changes in the compone…
Anomalous cooling of the massive white dwarf in U Geminorum following a narrow dwarf nova outburst
Edward M. Sion, F. H. Cheng, Paula Szkody +4
We obtained Hubble GHRS medium resolution (G160M grating) phase-resolved spectroscopic observations of the prototype dwarf nova U Geminorum during dwarf nova quiescence, 13 days an…
