Classical Novae at Radio Wavelengths

Laura Chomiuk, Justin D. Linford, Elias Aydi +20

We present radio observations (1--40 GHz) for 36 classical novae, representing data from over five decades compiled from the literature, telescope archives, and our own programs. O…

X-ray evolution of the nova V959 Mon suggests a delayed ejection and a non-radiative shock

Thomas Nelson, Koji Mukai, Laura Chomiuk +7

X-ray observations of shocked gas in novae can provide a useful probe of the dynamics of the ejecta. Here we report on X-ray observations of the nova V959 Mon, which was also detec…

A Nova Outburst Powered by Shocks

Kwan-Lok Li, Brian D. Metzger, Laura Chomiuk +13

Classical novae are runaway thermonuclear burning events on the surfaces of accreting white dwarfs in close binary star systems, sometimes appearing as new naked-eye sources in the…

A Radio Emission Analysis of Classical Nova V351 Pup (1991)

Carolyn N. Wendeln, Laura Chomiuk, Thomas Finzell +2

Previously, Nova Puppis 1991 (V351 Pup) was measured to host one of the most massive ejections claimed in the literature. Multi-frequency radio detections from one epoch were publi…

The Peculiar Multi-Wavelength Evolution Of V1535 Sco

J. D. Linford, L. Chomiuk, T. Nelson +8

We present multi-wavelength observations of the unusual nova V1535 Sco throughout its outburst in 2015. Early radio observations were consistent with synchrotron emission, and earl…

A Detailed Observational Analysis of V1324 Sco, the Most Gamma-Ray Luminous Classical Nova to Date

Thomas Finzell, Laura Chomiuk, Brian D. Metzger +32

It has recently been discovered that some, if not all, classical novae emit GeV gamma rays during outburst, but the mechanisms involved in the production of the gamma rays are stil…

Shock-powered radio emission from V5589 Sagittarii (Nova Sgr 2012 1)

Jennifer H. S. Weston, J. L. Sokoloski, Laura Chomiuk +7

Since the Fermi discovery of -rays from novae, one of the biggest questions in the field has been how novae generate such high-energy emission. Shocks must be a fundamental ingr…

Distance and Reddening of the Enigmatic Gamma-ray-Detected Nova V1324 Sco

Thomas Finzell, Laura Chomiuk, Ulisse Munari +1

It has recently been discovered that some, if not all, classical novae emit GeV gamma-rays during outburst. Despite using an unreliable method to determine its distance, previous w…

Photometric evolution and peculiar dust formation in the gamma-ray Nova Sco 2012 (V1324 Sco)

U. Munari, F. M. Walter, A. Henden +3

Optical (BVRI) and infrared (JHK) photometry of the gamma-ray nova Nova Sco 2012 (V1324 Sco) is presented and the lightcurve reconstructed and discussed. An interstellar reddening…

Non-Thermal Radio Emission from Colliding Flows in Classical Nova V1723 Aql

Jennifer H. S. Weston, J. L. Sokoloski, Brian D. Metzger +9

The importance of shocks in nova explosions has been highlighted by Fermi's discovery of γ-ray producing novae. Over three years of multi-band VLA radio observations of the 2010 no…

1FGL J1417.7-4407: A likely gamma-ray bright binary with a massive neutron star and a giant secondary

Jay Strader, Laura Chomiuk, C. C. Cheung +12

We present multiwavelength observations of the persistent Fermi-LAT unidentified gamma-ray source 1FGL J1417.7-4407, showing it is likely to be associated with a newly discovered X…

Gamma-ray novae as probes of relativistic particle acceleration at non-relativistic shocks

Brian D. Metzger, Thomas Finzell, Indrek Vurm +3

The Fermi LAT discovery that classical novae produce >100 MeV gamma-rays establishes that shocks and relativistic particle acceleration are key features of these events. These shoc…

Signatures of multiple stellar populations in unresolved extragalactic globular/ young massive star clusters

Mark B. Peacock, Stephen E. Zepf, Thomas Finzell

We present an investigation of potential signatures of the formation of multiple stellar populations in recently formed extragalactic star clusters. All of the Galactic globular cl…
