From Light to Sound: Spectroscopic Evolution & Sonification of the flaring Nova V612 Scuti
Pragati Acharya, Elias Aydi, Kirill V. Sokolovsky +17
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of the 2017 Galactic nova V612 Sct, whose optical evolution was marked by multiple unusually large maxima. The eruption includ…
Spectro Capture: A Software System for Automated Small-Observatory Spectroscopy
Paul Luckas
Spectro Capture is a Python-based software system developed to automate small- observatory fibre-fed spectroscopy. The system integrates target selection, telescope slewing, guide…
Rapid polarization variations in the O4 supergiant Puppis
Jeremy Bailey, Ian D. Howarth, Daniel V. Cotton +5
We present time-series linear-polarization observations of the bright O4 supergiant Puppis. The star is found to show polarization variation on timescales of around an hour and…
V5856 Sagittarii/2016: Broad Multi-Epoch Spectral Coverage of a Sustained High Luminosity Nova
Robert Williams, Frederick M. Walter, Richard J. Rudy +4
Nova V5856 Sagittarii is unique for having remained more than nine magnitudes above its pre-outburst brightness for more than six years. Extensive visible and IR spectra from the t…
NuSTAR Detection of X-rays Concurrent with Gamma Rays in the Nova V5855 Sgr
Thomas Nelson, Koji Mukai, Kwan-Lok Li +7
We report the first detection of hard (>10 keV) X-ray emission simultaneous with gamma rays in a nova eruption. Observations of the nova V5855 Sgr carried out with the NuSTAR satel…
The SPIRIT Telescope Initiative: six years on
Paul Luckas
Now in its sixth year of operation, the SPIRIT initiative remains unique in Australia, as a robust web-enabled robotic telescope initiative funded for education and outreach. With…
