Nuclear ashes and outflow in the eruptive star Nova Vul 1670
Menten, Karl M.; Kraus, Alexander; Hajduk, Marcin +3 more
CK Vulpeculae was observed in outburst in 1670-1672 (ref. 1), but no counterpart was seen until 1982, when a bipolar nebula was found at its location. Historically, CK Vul has been considered to be a nova (Nova Vul 1670), but its similarity to `red transients', which are more luminous than classical novae and thought to be the results of stellar c…
Rapid disappearance of a warm, dusty circumstellar disk
Zuckerman, B.; Murphy, Simon J.; Song, Inseok +3 more
Stars form with gaseous and dusty circumstellar envelopes, which rapidly settle into disks that eventually give rise to planetary systems. Understanding the process by which these disks evolve is paramount in developing an accurate theory of planet formation that can account for the variety of planetary systems discovered so far. The formation of …
