Elemental and Isotopic Yields from T Coronae Borealis: Predictions and Uncertainties

Emma Wallace, Christian Iliadis, Sumner Starrfield

T Coronae Borealis (T CrB) is a symbiotic recurrent nova system expected to undergo its next outburst within the next two years. Recent hydrodynamic simulations have predicted the…

Hydrodynamic Simulations of Oxygen-Neon Classical Novae as Galactic Li Producers and Potential Accretion Induced Collapse Progenitors

Sumner Starrfield, Maitrayee Bose, Christian Iliadis +3

We report on studies of Classical Nova (CN) explosions where we follow the evolution of thermonuclear runaways (TNRs) on oxygen-neon (ONe) white dwarfs (WDs). Using NOVA, a one-dim…

Snowflakes in a furnace: formation of CO and dust in a recurrent nova eruption

D. P. K. Banerjee, C. E. Woodward, V. Joshi +7

We report the detection of carbon monoxide (CO) and dust, formed under hostile conditions, in recurrent nova V745 Sco about 8.7 days after its 2014 outburst. The formation of molec…

V445 Puppis -- Dustier than a Thousand Novae

D. P. K. Banerjee, A. Evans, C. E. Woodward +4

V445 Puppis, the only known Galactic helium nova, is a unique test-bed to verify supernova (SN) theories in the single degenerate channel that involve a white dwarf (WD) accreting…

Infrared spectroscopy of the 2022 eruption of the recurrent nova U Sco

A. Evans, D. P. K. Banerjee, C. E. Woodward +5

We present near-infrared spectroscopy of the 2022 eruption of the recurrent nova U Sco, over the period from 5.2 to 45.4 days after outburst. This is the most intensive infrared st…

High Resolution X-ray Spectra of RS Ophiuchi (2006 and 2021): Revealing the cause of SSS variability

J. -U. Ness, A. P. Beardmore, M. F. Bode +9

Swift observed the SSS phase in RS Oph much fainter in 2021 than in 2006, and we compare an XMM-Newton grating spectrum on day 55.6 in 2021 (2021d55.6) to SSS Chandra and XMM-Newto…
