A Composite Light Curve Model of the Symbiotic Nova PU Vul (1979)
Mikołajewska, J.; Kato, M.; Hachisu, I.
PU Vul (1979) is a symbiotic nova that shows a long-lasting flat optical peak followed by a slow decline. We made a quasi-evolution model for outbursts on a 0.6 M⊙ white dwarf consisting of a series of static solutions with optically-thin winds. Our theoretical models reproduce well the observed visual/UV light curves as well as the new…
Multiwavelength SED as a Tool in Understanding Outbursts of Symbiotic Binaries
Skopal, A.
Symbiotic binaries consist of a few sources of radiation contributing to spectral energy distribution (SED) from hard X-rays to radio wavelengths. To identify the basic physical processes forming the observed spectrum, we have to disentangle the composite SED into its individual components of radiation, i.e., to determine their physical parameters…
