Journal ArticleDOI
An asymmetric shock wave in the 2006 outburst of the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi.
Tim O'Brien,M. F. Bode,R. W. Porcas,T. W. B. Muxlow,S. P. S. Eyres,Robert Beswick,Simon Garrington,R. J. Davis,A. Evans +8 more
TL;DR: The detection of spatially resolved structure in RS Ophiuchi from two weeks after its 12 February 2006 outburst is reported, producing a remnant similar to that of a type II supernova but evolving over months rather than millennia.
Journal ArticleDOI
A deep optical imaging study of the nebular remnants of classical novae
Journal ArticleDOI
Swift Observations of the 2006 Outburst of the Recurrent Nova RS Ophiuchi. I. Early X-Ray Emission from the Shocked Ejecta and Red Giant Wind
Michael F. Bode,Tim O'Brien,J. P. Osborne,K. L. Page,F. Senziani,F. Senziani,F. Senziani,Gerald K. Skinner,Sumner Starrfield,Jan-Uwe Ness,Jeremy J. Drake,Greg J. Schwarz,A. P. Beardmore,M. J. Darnley,S. P. S. Eyres,A. Evans,Neil Gehrels,M. R. Goad,Pierre Jean,Joachim Krautter,G. Novara,G. Novara +21 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on Swift observations covering the first month of the 2006 outburst with the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) and X-Ray Telescope (XRT) instruments.
Journal ArticleDOI
The interaction of planetary nebulae and their asymptotic giant branch progenitors with the interstellar medium
TL;DR: In an effort to understand the range of shapes observed in the outer envelopes of PNe, the authors run a comprehensive set of three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations, from the beginning of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) superwind phase until the end of the post-AGB/PN phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Binary orbits as the driver of γ-ray emission and mass ejection in classical novae
Laura Chomiuk,Justin D. Linford,Jun Yang,Tim O'Brien,Zsolt Paragi,Amy J. Mioduszewski,Robert Beswick,C. C. Cheung,Koji Mukai,T. J. N. Nelson,Valério A. R. M. Ribeiro,Michael P. Rupen,J. L. Sokoloski,Jennifer Weston,Yong Zheng,Michael F. Bode,S. P. S. Eyres,Nirupam Roy,G. B. Taylor +18 more
TL;DR: High-resolution radio imaging of the γ-ray-emitting nova V959 Mon finds that its ejecta were shaped by the motion of the binary system: some gas was expelled rapidly along the poles as a wind from the white dwarf, while denser material drifted out along the equatorial plane, propelled by orbital motion.
