Two Predicted, Concentric Nova Shells Surround the Prototype Dwarf Nova U Geminorum
Michael M. Shara, Kenneth M. Lanzetta, Aayushi Doshi +7
In the 170 years since its discovery, U Gem has been intensively studied as the prototypical cataclysmic binary star. Its massive white dwarf (WD) (~ 1.2 Msun) is cannibalizing its…
A 70 pc-Diameter Nova Super-remnant Surrounding the Recurrent Nova RS Ophiuchi
Michael M. Shara, Kenneth M. Lanzetta, Alexandra Masegian +9
Recurrent novae undergo thermonuclear-powered eruptions separated by less than 100 years, enabled by subgiant or red giant donors transferring hydrogen-rich matter at very high rat…
The Newly Discovered Nova Super-Remnant Surrounding Recurrent Nova T Coronae Borealis: Will it Light Up During the Coming Eruption?
Michael M. Shara, Kenneth M. Lanzetta, Alexandra Masegian +7
A century or less separates the thermonuclear-powered eruptions of recurrent novae in the hydrogen-rich envelopes of massive white dwarfs. The colliding ejecta of successive recurr…
Discovery of a 25 parsec-long precessing jet emanating from the old nova GK Persei
Michael M. Shara, Kenneth M. Lanzetta, James T. Garland +6
Classical nova eruptions result from thermonuclear-powered runaways in, and ejection of, the hydrogen-rich envelopes of white dwarf stars accreted from their close binary companion…
Introducing the Condor Array Telescope: IV. A possible nova super-remnant surrounding the putative recurrent nova KT Eridani
Michael M. Shara, Kenneth M. Lanzetta, James T. Garland +10
Just 10 recurrent novae (RNe) - which erupt repeatedly on timescales shorter than one century - are known in our Galaxy. The most extreme RN known (located in the Andromeda galaxy)…
Introducing the Condor Array Telescope: III. The expansion and age of the shell of the dwarf nova Z Camelopardalis, and detection of a second, larger shell
Michael M. Shara, Kenneth M. Lanzetta, James T. Garland +7
The existence of a vast nova shell surrounding the prototypical dwarf nova Z Camelopardalis (Z Cam) proves that some old novae undergo metamorphosis to appear as dwarf novae thousa…
Catching VY Sculptoris in a low state
L. Schmidtobreick, E. Mason, S. B. Howell +4
Context. In the context of a large campaign to determine the system parameters of high mass transfer cataclysmic variables, we found VY Scl in a low state in 2008. Aims. Making use…
Infrared studies of Nova Scorpii 2014: an outburst in a symbiotic system sans an accompanying blast wave
Vishal Joshi, D. P. K. Banerjee, N M Ashok +2
Near-IR spectroscopy is presented for Nova Scorpii 2014. It is shown that the outburst occurred in a symbiotic binary system - an extremely rare configuration for a classical nova…
