A black hole nova obscured by an inner disk torus.
Stellar-mass black holes (BHs) are mostly found in x-ray transients, a subclass of x-ray binaries that exhibit violent outbursts. None of the 50 galactic BHs known show eclipses, which is surprising for a random distribution of inclinations. Swift J1357.2-093313 is a very faint x-ray transient detected in 2011. On the basis of spectroscopic evidence, we show that it contains a BH in a 2.8-hour ...
متن کاملProspects in Classical Nova Modeling and Nucleosynthesis
Classical novae are fascinating stellar events, at the crossroads of astrophysics, nuclear physics and cosmochemistry. In this review, we outline the history of nova modeling with special emphasis on recent advances and perspectives in multidimensional simulations. Among the topics that are covered, we analyze the interplay between nova outbursts and the Galactic chemical abundances, the synthe...
متن کاملIs KT Mon a Classical Nova?
KT Mon has been considered as a classical nova in 1942 based on its light curve and spectroscopy. However, we noticed a unusual feature for a nova soon after its maximum: the early presence of high excitation emission lines such as HeII and NIII. We propose previously overlooked interpretations that KT Mon can be either a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova and an X-ray transient, although the possibility o...
متن کاملSwift X-ray and Uv Monitoring of the Classical Nova V458 Vul (nova Vul 2007)
We describe the highly variable X-ray and UV emission of V458Vul (Nova Vul 2007), observed by Swift between 1 and 422 days after outburst. Initially bright only in the UV, V458Vul became a variable hard X-ray source due to optically thin thermal emission at kT = 0.64 keV with an X-ray band unabsorbed luminosity of 2.3×10 erg s during days 71-140. The X-ray spectrum at this time requires a low F...
متن کاملEmission-line Helium Abundances in Highly Obscured Nebulae
It has long been possible to determine He/H ratios from radio or infrared recombination lines, making it possible to measure ionic abundance ratios for highly obscured emission-line objects. It is not possible to determine the total helium abundance from such data alone, however, since the ionization correction factor (ICF), the correction for unobservable stages of ionization of He or H, must ...
