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…
A Wind analysis of an evolved Giant - FUSE and HST/STIS observations of an eclipsing Symbiotic Binary
Cian Crowley, Brian R. Espey, Stephan R. McCandliss
A major outstanding problem in stellar astrophysics lies in understanding the wind generation mechanism by which evolved giants lose mass. Phase-resolved observations of eclipsing…
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…
HUT Observations of the Lyman Limit in AGN: Implications for Unified Models
G. Kriss, J. Krolik, J. Grimes +4
We observed a total of 13 low-redshift AGN with the Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope (HUT) during the course of the Astro-1 and Astro-2 missions. Of these, 4 show intrinsic Lyman limi…
