From Light to Sound: Spectroscopic Evolution & Sonification of the flaring Nova V612 Scuti

Pragati Acharya, Elias Aydi, Kirill V. Sokolovsky +17

We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of the 2017 Galactic nova V612 Sct, whose optical evolution was marked by multiple unusually large maxima. The eruption includ…

TESS detection of periodic brightness variations during the rise of classical nova PGIR22akgylf

Kirill V. Sokolovsky, Elias Aydi, Konstantin Malanchev +14

Classical novae are transient events powered by thermonuclear burning in a layer of hydrogen-rich material accreted by a white dwarf from its binary companion. Most classical novae…

TESS photometry of the nova eruption in V606 Vul: asymmetric photosphere and multiple ejections?

Kirill V. Sokolovsky, Elias Aydi, Konstantin Malanchev +70

Lightcurves of many classical novae deviate from the canonical "fast rise - smooth decline" pattern and display complex variability behavior. We present the first TESS-space-photom…

Revisiting the classics: On the evolutionary origin of the "Fe II" and "He/N" spectral classes of novae

E. Aydi, L. Chomiuk, J. Strader +21

The optical spectra of novae are characterized by emission lines from the hydrogen Balmer series and either Fe II or He/N, leading to their traditional classification into two spec…

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,…

SU Lyn: diagnosing the boundary layer with UV and hard X-ray data

Raimundo Lopes de Oliveira, Jennifer Sokoloski, Gerardo Juan Luna +2

Symbiotic stars in which the symbiotic phenomenon is powered solely by accretion, often at an average rate that is higher than in cataclysmic variable stars, provide an important o…
