Early Emergence of SSS emission in RS Oph
J. -U. Ness, J. P. Osborne, M. Orio +3
Early in the 2006 outburst of the recurrent nova RS Oph, Swift detected the onset of the super-soft-source (SSS) phase. An XMM-Newton observation on day 26.1 revealed an unusual so…
Detection of a molecular hydrogen envelope around nova GK Persei
D. P. K. Banerjee, A. Evans, T. Liimets +4
The eruption of Nova Persei 1901 (GK Per) occurred 125 yrs ago; remarkably it still holds major surprises. Using data from the Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, E…
The [Fe XIII] Infrared 10747 Angstrom and 10798 Angstrom Lines in Novae
D. P. K. Banerjee, C. E. Woodward, A. Evans +3
The forbidden lines of [Fe XIII] at 10,747 Angstrom and 10,798 Angsrtom are among the most prominent lines in the near-infrared spectrum of the solar corona. They have been used ro…
Newborn jet in the symbiotic system R Aquarii
T. Liimets, D. P. K. Banerjee, M. Santander-García +12
R Aquarii (R Aqr) is a well-known symbiotic binary that has attracted renewed interest during its recent periastron passage, an event that occurs only once every about 40 years. Th…
Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of the Recurrent Nova M31N 2008-12a
D. P. K. Banerjee, T. R. Geballe, A. Evans +3
Near infrared (NIR) 0.9--2.5m spectra of the remarkable recurrent nova M31N 2008-12a were obtained on days 6.3 and 10.3 after discovery of its 2024 outburst, and are the first N…
Hydrodynamic Predictions for the Next Outburst of T Coronae Borealis: It will be the Brightest Classical or Recurrent Nova Ever Observed in X-rays
S. Starrfield, M. Bose, C. E. Woodward +11
T Coronae Borealis (TCrB) is a recurrent nova (RN) with recorded outbursts in 1866, and 1946 and possible outbursts in 1217 and 1787. It is predicted to explode again in 2025 or 20…
Near-infrared spectroscopy of the LMC recurrent nova LMCN 1968-12a
A. Evans, D. P. K. Banerjee, T. R. Geballe +5
We have obtained near-infrared (m) spectra of the recurrent nova LMCN 1968-12a on two occasions during its 2024 August eruption. This is the first near-infrared spectro…
A Photoionization model for the Infrared Coronal Line Emission in the Classical Nova V1716 Scorpii
C. E. Woodward, G. Shaw, S. Starrfield +2
A near-infrared spectrum of nova V1716 Scorpii (PNV J17224490-4137160), a recent bright (V_max = 7.3 mag), Fermi-LAT detected gamma-ray source, was modeled using the photoionizatio…
Horizons: Nuclear Astrophysics in the 2020s and Beyond
H. Schatz, A. D. Becerril Reyes, A. Best +162
Nuclear Astrophysics is a field at the intersection of nuclear physics and astrophysics, which seeks to understand the nuclear engines of astronomical objects and the origin of the…
Science with e-ASTROGAM (A space mission for MeV-GeV gamma-ray astrophysics)
A. De Angelis, V. Tatischeff, I. A. Grenier +248
e-ASTROGAM (enhanced ASTROGAM) is a breakthrough Observatory space mission, with a detector composed by a Silicon tracker, a calorimeter, and an anticoincidence system, dedicated t…
Rise and fall of the dust shell of the classical nova V339 Delphini
A. Evans, D. P. K. Banerjee, R. D. Gehrz +16
We present infrared spectroscopy of the classical nova V339 Delphini, obtained over a year period. The infrared emission lines were initially symmetrical, with HWHM velocit…
The Thermonuclear Runaway and the Classical Nova Outburst
S. Starrfield, C. Iliadis, W. R. Hix
Nova explosions occur on the white dwarf component of a Cataclysmic Variable binary stellar system that is accreting matter lost by its companion. When sufficient material has been…
