An Extended Grid of Nova Models. III. Very Luminous, Red Novae
Michael M. Shara, Ofer Yaron, Dina Prialnik +2
Extremely luminous, red eruptive variables like RV in M31 are being suggested as exemplars of a new class of astrophysical object. Our greatly extended series of nova simulations s…
The Red Nova-like Variable in M31 - A Blue Candidate in Quiescence
Michael M. Shara, David Zurek, Dina Prialnik +2
M31-RV was an extraordinarily luminous (~10^6 Lsun) eruptive variable, displaying very cool temperatures (roughly 1000 Kelvins) as it faded. The photometric behavior of M31-RV (and…
Non-Equipartition of Energy, Masses of Nova Ejecta, and Type Ia Supernovae
Michael M. Shara, Ofer Yaron, Dina Prialnik +1
The total masses ejected during classical nova eruptions are needed to answer two questions with broad astrophysical implications: Can accreting white dwarfs be pushed towards the…
