Early spectral evolution of classical novae: consistent evidence for multiple distinct outflows
E. Aydi, L. Chomiuk, L. Izzo +18
The physical mechanism driving mass ejection during a nova eruption is still poorly understood. Possibilities include ejection in a single ballistic event, a common envelope intera…
The 2019 eruption of recurrent nova V3890 Sgr: observations by Swift, NICER and SMARTS
K. L. Page, N. P. M. Kuin, A. P. Beardmore +6
V3890 Sgr is a recurrent nova which has been seen in outburst three times so far, with the most recent eruption occurring on 2019 August 27 UT. This latest outburst was followed in…
X-ray Spectra and Light Curves of Cooling Novae and a Nova-Like
Bangzheng Sun, Marina Orio, Andrej Dobrotka +3
We present X-ray observations of novae V2491 Cyg and KT Eri about 9 years post-outburst, of the dwarf nova and post-nova candidate EY Cyg, and of a VY Scl variable. The first three…
Direct evidence for shock-powered optical emission in a nova
Elias Aydi, Kirill V. Sokolovsky, Laura Chomiuk +39
Classical novae are thermonuclear explosions that occur on the surfaces of white dwarf stars in interacting binary systems (Bode & Evans 2008). It has long been thought that the lu…
