The Role of Binary Configuration in Shaping Nova Evolution via Wind Accretion in Symbiotic Systems
Irin Babu Vathachira, Yael Hillman, Amit Kashi
We investigate the impact of the Bondi--Hoyle--Lyttleton (BHL) accretion mechanism on the evolution of nova eruptions in symbiotic systems by systematically varying three key input…

Exploring mass transfer mechanisms in symbiotic systems
Irin Babu Vathachira, Yael Hillman, Amit Kashi
We define two regimes of the parameter space of symbiotic systems based on the dominant mass transfer mechanism. A wide range of white dwarf (WD) mass, donor mass, and donor radius…
