TESS photometry of the nova eruption in V606 Vul: asymmetric photosphere and multiple ejections?

Kirill V. Sokolovsky, Elias Aydi, Konstantin Malanchev +70

Lightcurves of many classical novae deviate from the canonical "fast rise - smooth decline" pattern and display complex variability behavior. We present the first TESS-space-photom…

Revisiting the classics: On the evolutionary origin of the "Fe II" and "He/N" spectral classes of novae

E. Aydi, L. Chomiuk, J. Strader +21

The optical spectra of novae are characterized by emission lines from the hydrogen Balmer series and either Fe II or He/N, leading to their traditional classification into two spec…

A Multi-wavelength Study of Swift J0503.7-2819: a Chimeric magnetic CV

Kala G. Pradeep, Kulinder Pal Singh, G. C. Dewangan +7

We present multi-wavelength temporal and spectral characteristics of a magnetic cataclysmic variable (MCV) Swift J0503.7-2819, using far ultraviolet (FUV) and X-ray data from Astro…

Catching a nova X-ray/UV flash in the visible? Early spectroscopy of the extremely slow Nova Velorum 2022 (Gaia22alz)

E. Aydi, L. Chomiuk, J. Mikołajewska +22

We present early spectral observations of the very slow Galactic nova Gaia22alz, over its gradual rise to peak brightness that lasted 180 days. During the first 50 days, when the n…

The multi-wavelength view of shocks in the fastest nova V1674 Her

K. V. Sokolovsky, T. J. Johnson, S. Buson +41

Classical novae are shock-powered multi-wavelength transients triggered by a thermonuclear runaway on an accreting white dwarf. V1674 Her is the fastest nova ever recorded (time to…

Shock shaping? Nebular Spectroscopy of Nova V906 Carinae

É. J. Harvey, E. Aydi, L. Izzo +7

V906 Carinae was one of the best observed novae of recent times. It was a prolific dust producer and harboured shocks in the early evolving ejecta outflow. Here, we take a close lo…
