A persistent bow shock in a diskless magnetised accreting white dwarf
Krystian Ilkiewicz, Simone Scaringi, Domitilla de Martino +9
Stellar bow shocks are formed when an outflow interacts with the interstellar medium. In white dwarfs accreting from a binary companion, outflows are associated with either strong…
ESO Expanding Horizons: Underluminous Thermonuclear Supernovae
Paul J. Groot, Simone Scaringi, Nancy Elias-Rosa
Underluminous Thermonuclear Supernovae (uTSNe) are an emerging class of transient events that resemble classic Supernovae Type Ia, but peak at much lower luminosities. Suspected to…
The final stages of binary evolution using multi-messenger studies
Thomas Kupfer, Simone Scaringi, Paul Groot +11
Ultracompact Galactic binaries with orbital periods below an hour are among the strongest persistent gravitational-wave (GW) sources in the mHz band and will constitute the dominan…
Nova Explosions in 2040
Alessandro Ederoclite, Domitilla De Martino, Paul Groot +7
Novae are thermonuclear explosions on the surface of accreting white dwarfs and are key laboratories for studying explosive nucleosynthesis, particle acceleration, shock physics, a…
GRBs and Relativistic Transients in the 2040s
Nikhil Sarin, Andrew Levan, Nial Tanvir +9
Relativistic transients such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), jetted tidal disruption events, luminous fast blue optical transients, and fast X-ray transients, represent the brightest e…
Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients in the 2040s
A. A. Chrimes, N. Sarin, D. Coppejans +6
Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients (LFBOTs) are a class of extragalactic transient of uncertain origin. Several hypotheses have been put forward which could feasibly be consiste…
