Mass-loss from Red Giants

Brian Espey, Cian Crowley

Although much is known about the nature of winds from hot stars and giants and supergiants with spectral types earlier than K, there is still much to be learned regarding the mass-…

EG And: FUSE and HST/STIS Monitoring of an Eclipsing Symbiotic Binary

Cian Crowley, B. R. Espey, S. R. McCandliss

We present highlights and an overview of 20 FUSE and HST/STIS observations of the bright symbiotic binary EG And. The main motivation behind this work is to obtain spatially-resolv…

A "Combination Nova" Outburst in Z Andromedae: Nuclear Shell Burning Triggered by a Disk Instability

J. L. Sokoloski, S. J. Kenyon, B. R. Espey +11

We describe observational evidence for a new kind of interacting-binary-star outburst that involves both an accretion instability and an increase in thermonuclear shell burning on…

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…
