Hydrodynamic simulations of the recurrent nova T Coronae Borealis: Nucleosynthesis predictions

Jordi Jose, Margarita Hernanz

T Coronae Borealis (T CrB) is one of the eleven known recurrent novae in our Galaxy. It was observed in outburst in 1866 and 1946, with additional likely eruptions recorded in 1217…

Nova explosions -- The fascinating gamma-ray emitting recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi

Vincent Tatischeff, Margarita Hernanz

Classical and recurrent nova explosions occur on top of white dwarfs accreting H-rich matter from a companion main sequence or red giant star, in a close binary system. In the rece…

Detection of Be II in the Small Magellanic Cloud

Luca Izzo, Paolo Molaro, Gabriele Cescutti +8

We analyse high resolution spectra of two classical novae that exploded in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Be II resonance transitions are detected in both ASASSN-19qv and ASASSN-2…

Nova LMC 2009a as observed with XMM-Newton, compared with other novae

Marina Orio, Andrej Dobrotka, Ciro Pinto +9

We examine four high resolution reflection grating spectrometers (RGS) spectra of the February 2009 outburst of the luminous recurrent nova LMC 2009a. They were very complex and ri…

Synthesis of radioactive elements in novae and supernovae and their use as a diagnostic tool

J. Isern, M. Hernanz, E. Bravo +5

Novae and supernovae play a key role in many fields of Astrophysics and Cosmology. Despite their importance, an accurate description of which objects explode and why and how they e…
