Mass-loss and composition of wind ejecta in type I X-ray bursts
Yago Herrera, Glòria Sala, Jordi José
X-Ray bursts (XRB) are powerful thermonuclear events on the surface of accreting neutron stars (NS), where nucleosynthesis of intermediate-mass elements occurs. Their predicted and…
X-ray detection of a nova in the fireball phase
Ole König, Jörn Wilms, Riccardo Arcodia +17
Novae are caused by runaway thermonuclear burning in the hydrogen-rich envelopes of accreting white dwarfs, which results in the envelope to expand rapidly and to eject most of its…
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…
Simulations of stellar winds from X-ray bursts. Characterization of solutions and observable variables
Yago Herrera, Gloria Sala, Jordi José
Photospheric radius expansion during X-ray bursts can be used to measure neutron star radii and help constrain the equation of state of neutron star matter. Understanding the stell…
What we learn from the X-ray grating spectra of Nova SMC 2016
M. Orio, J. -U. Ness, A. Dobrotka +17
Nova SMC 2016 has been the most luminous nova known in the direction of the Magellanic Clouds. It turned into a very luminous supersoft X-ray source between day 16 and 28 after the…
Breaking the habit - the peculiar 2016 eruption of the unique recurrent nova M31N 2008-12a
M. Henze, M. J. Darnley, S. C. Williams +70
Since its discovery in 2008, the Andromeda galaxy nova M31N 2008-12a has been observed in eruption every single year. This unprecedented frequency indicates an extreme object, with…
