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…
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…
Frequency-dependent Discrete Implicit Monte-Carlo Scheme for the Radiative Transfer Equation
Elad Steinberg, Shay I. Heizler
This work generalizes the discrete implicit Monte-Carlo (DIMC) method for modeling the radiative transfer equation from a gray treatment to an frequency-dependent one. The classic…
Stream-Disk Shocks as the Origins of Peak Light in Tidal Disruption Events
Elad Steinberg, Nicholas C. Stone
Tidal disruption events occur when stars are ripped apart by massive black holes, and result in highly luminous, multi-wavelength flares. Optical/UV observations of tidal disruptio…
A New Discrete Implicit Monte Carlo Scheme for Simulating Radiative Transfer Problems
Elad Steinberg, Shay I. Heizler
We present a new algorithm for radiative transfer-based on a statistical Monte Carlo approach-that does not suffer from teleportation effects, on the one hand, and yields smooth re…
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…
