Revisiting the classics: On the evolutionary origin of the "Fe II" and "He/N" spectral classes of novae
E. Aydi, L. Chomiuk, J. Strader +21
The optical spectra of novae are characterized by emission lines from the hydrogen Balmer series and either Fe II or He/N, leading to their traditional classification into two spec…
The RS Oph outburst of 2021 monitored in X-rays with NICER
Marina Orio, Keith Gendreau, Morgan Giese +19
The 2021 outburst of the symbiotic recurrent nova RS Oph was monitored with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer Mission (NICER) in the 0.2-12 keV range from day one afte…
Swift/UVOT discovery of Swift J221951-484240: a UV luminous ambiguous nuclear transient
S. R. Oates, N. P. M. Kuin, M. Nicholl +57
We report the discovery of Swift J221951-484240 (hereafter: J221951), a luminous slow-evolving blue transient that was detected by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Ultra-violet/O…
Recurrent mini-outbursts and a magnetic white dwarf in the symbiotic system FN Sgr
J. Magdolen, A. Dobrotka, M. Orio +5
AIMS: We investigated the optical variability of the symbiotic binary FN Sgr, with photometric monitoring during 55 years and with a high-cadence Kepler light curve lasting…
Catching a nova X-ray/UV flash in the visible? Early spectroscopy of the extremely slow Nova Velorum 2022 (Gaia22alz)
E. Aydi, L. Chomiuk, J. Mikołajewska +22
We present early spectral observations of the very slow Galactic nova Gaia22alz, over its gradual rise to peak brightness that lasted 180 days. During the first 50 days, when the n…
The multi-wavelength view of shocks in the fastest nova V1674 Her
K. V. Sokolovsky, T. J. Johnson, S. Buson +41
Classical novae are shock-powered multi-wavelength transients triggered by a thermonuclear runaway on an accreting white dwarf. V1674 Her is the fastest nova ever recorded (time to…
