A New Kind of Nova
J. L. Sokoloski, S. J. Kenyon, A. K. H. Kong +10
We performed extensive, multi-wavelength observations of the prototypical symbiotic star Z Andromedae between 2000 and 2003, during a large eruption. The rise to optical maximum oc…
FUSE Observations of the Symbiotic Star AG Draconis
P. R. Young, A. K. Dupree, B. R. Espey +2
Spectra of the bright symbiotic star AG Draconis (BD+67D922) in the wavelength range 905-1187 A obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) are presented. The s…
Outbursts of Classical Symbiotics: Multi-Wavelength Observations of the 2000-2001 Outburst of Z Andromedae
J. L. Sokoloski, S. J. Kenyon, A. K. H. Kong +11
We describe the first results from a program of multi-wavelength monitoring of symbiotic binary stars in outburst. The prototypical symbiotic star Z Andromedae was observed extensi…
Dynamical Evolution of Protoplanetary Disks
Scott J. Kenyon
This paper reviews the theory of protostellar debris disks. After a brief introduction to accretion disk physics, I describe coagulation models of planet formation in the outer reg…
Accretion Disks and Eruptive Phenomena
Scott J. Kenyon
This paper describes eruptive phenomena in pre-main sequence stars. The eruptions of FU Orionis stars have much in common with outbursts in other accreting systems, such as dwarf n…
