The first hours and days of the 2021 explosion of the recurrent symbiotic nova RS Ophiuchii

Augustin Skopal, Martin Vrašťák, Francois Teyssier +4

The accretion of matter on a massive white dwarf (WD) can lead to repeated nuclear explosions on its surface over a timescale of years to decades. The seventh explosion of the recu…

V1047 Cen: The first Z And-type outburst observed in the classical nova binary

Augustin Skopal, Natalia Shagatova

In 2019, the classical nova V1047 Cen experienced an unusual outburst, the nature of which has not yet been clearly determined. In this paper, we show that the 2019 V1047~Cen outbu…

Wind-mass transfer in S-type symbiotic binaries IV. Indication of high wind-mass-transfer efficiency from active phases

Augustin Skopal, Natalia Shagatova

Observational indications of wind-mass transfer from an evolved giant to its distant white dwarf (WD) companion in symbiotic binaries are rare. Here, we present a way to examine th…

Density asymmetry and wind velocities in the orbital plane of the symbiotic binary EG Andromedae

N. Shagatova, A. Skopal, E. Kundra +4

Context. Non-dusty late-type giants without a corona and large-scale pulsations represent objects that do not fulfil the conditions under which standard mass-loss mechanisms can be…

The emergence of a neutral wind region in the orbital plane of symbiotic binaries during their outbursts

Augustin Skopal

Accretion of mass onto a white dwarf (WD) in a binary system can lead to stellar explosions. If a WD accretes from stellar wind of a distant evolved giant in a symbiotic binary, it…

Multiwavelength modeling the SED of Luminous Supersoft X-ray Sources in Large Magellanic Cloud and Small Magellanic Cloud

Augustin Skopal

Classical supersoft X-ray sources (SSSs) are understood as close binary systems in which a massive white dwarf (WD) accretes from its companion at rates sustaining steady hydrogen…
