As a result, the modified light curves about of 250 classical novae were grouped into 7 typical groups with subgroups defined by the light curves of prototypes. The largest group is the DQ Her group with V1280 Sco as the main prototype and the key to grouping. Novae of this group have three or four variants of a dust con- densation. Novae of the small GQ Mus group may be a bright X-ray source during an outburst. CP Pup, CP Lac, V1974 Cyg, and V1493 Aql are prototypes for 4 groups with close tilts of the initial brightness decline phase of the light curves. The group with the prototype RR Pic, including the HR Del subgroup,has a prolonged state of maximal brightness with the presence of several brightness variations before the final decline phase. The relationship of groups of novae, or form of the light curve, with processes in the circumstellar and circum-binary system environment is discussed. The material ejected during an outburst forms expanding shells of a generally ellipsoidal shape. In the Lac, Pup, and Cyg groups,the shells do not show a pronounced regular structure, except for their ellipsoidal shape. Shells of novae with a dust condensation (the DQ Her group) have an ellipsoidal shape with an equatorial belt. The uniqueshell of CK Vul, Nova Vul 1670, gives an idea about the possible shape of the shells of other members in the V1493 Sql group. The prototypes RR Pic and HR Del have a very bright belt. arXiv:2007.11025v1 [astro-ph.SR] 21 Jul 2020 Each of groups has own position along the well-known "absolute maximal magni- tude, rate of brightness decline" relation.

We fix the interaction of these two variable sources, in for light curves of novae based on the grouping of parts on particular, in the form of a visual light curve. The spectrum of light curves: by the presence of a plateau, temporary decline of an expanding source transforms over time from an absorption brightness, or the absence of details on light curves (Duerbeck, spectrum to purely an emission one. If the energy distribution 1981, 1987a; Strope, Schaefer, & Henden, 2010). in the spectrum of a nova at outburst maximum has a maximum But Strope et al.

The reason for this It is believed that sometimes the bolometric luminosity of a state of affairs may also be the wrong approach to solving the nova can a constant for a long time (Gallagher & Code, 1974; problem.

  • WZ Sagittae Space Weather—Global Warming
    Journal of Earth Science and Engineering 7 (2017) 154-174 doi: 10.17265/2159-581X/2017.03.004 D DAVID PUBLISHING WZ Sagittae Space Weather—Global Warming William Sokeland Retired, Heat Transfer Expert, Spacecraft and Turbine Engines, Oakland City, Indiana47660, USA Abstract: The planet responds thermally to the impacts of nova WZ Sagittae debris by heating and cooling. The result in the first 19 years of the nova WZ Sagittae cycle is global warming that is hemi-spherically dependent and is detectable in South America ice core data and Antarctica surface mass balance data. Planetary thermal data are correlated in the past by calculating the debris impact times from the super outbursts times of nova WZ Sagittae. The shape of the arctic ice cap is dependent on the 220 degree path of the debris and does not exist southward between the western extension and eastern termini of nova WZ Sagittae that define the Arctic heating path. Future global heating from nova WZ Sagittae will begin in 2020-2021. The increase of 6 to 8 magnitude unusual earthquakes in recent years is the results of nova WZ Sagittae and SN 1054 debris impact. Unusual occurrences in the biosphere indicate the starting time of impacting supernova debris streams. The Antarctic sea ice distribution in November of 2016 defines the termini of maximum particle concentration impact from supernova 1006 in the southern hemisphere. The killing heat in India of the northern hemisphere is associated with the western terminus of this supernova. Novas and supernovas times of impact correlate with plague outbreaks in the western USA marking the particles in the debris streams as the cause of the disease.

  • Mysterious Laptev Area Unfrozen Sea October 2018
    Ukrainian Journal of Ecology, , REVIEW ARTICLE Mysterious Laptev area unfrozen sea October 2018 W. Sokeland Retired, Heat Transfer Expert, Spacecraft and Turbine Engines, Lebanon, Indiana 46052, USA. E-mail: [email protected] Received: 05.02.2019. Accepted: 04.03.2019 The Laptev Sea ice melt of 2018 appeared due to a new debris stream impacting our planet that was not present in March of 2017. This new deflection area zone of March 17, 2018 created a region between the new zone at longitude 119E and the WZ Sagittae deflection area zone at longitude 14 °E of April 5 that maximized energy input in the enclosed region from both exploding star’s debris streams. The region of increased energy caused a sea ice free area to exist that is unprecedented in the satellite record in the Laptev Sea during the end of October 2018. The November 2, 2018 melt at the South Pole shows two hotspots acting on the sea ice simultaneously.. Keywords: Warming; global; supernova; nova; Laptev; sea ice; Arctic Introduction The topic of global warming has been connected to the melting of ice in the polar regions of our planet. At the time, the idea of destroying living conditions for future generations was created by politicians. Man made CO2 being inserted into our atmosphere was defined as the culprit and countries formed rich and powerful organizations to reduce man’s production of CO2. The concepts of the SNIT theory did not exist at the time. SNIT simply states the incoming energy and greenhouse gases causing global warming at this time are from four exploding stars, two novas and two supernovas.

  • RR Lyrae Stars As Seen by the Kepler Space Telescope
    RR Lyrae stars as seen by the Kepler space telescope Emese Plachy 1;2;3,Robert´ Szabo,´ 1;2;3∗ 1Konkoly Observatory, Research Centre for Astronomy and Earth Sciences, Konkoly Thege Miklos´ ut´ 15-17, H-1121 Budapest, Hungary 2MTA CSFK Lendulet¨ Near-Field Cosmology Research Group 3ELTE Eotv¨ os¨ Lorand´ University, Institute of Physics, Budapest, Hungary Correspondence*: Robert´ Szabo´ [email protected] ABSTRACT The unprecedented photometric precision along with the quasi-continuous sampling provided by the Kepler space telescope revealed new and unpredicted phenomena that reformed and invigorated RR Lyrae star research. The discovery of period doubling and the wealth of low- amplitude modes enlightened the complexity of the pulsation behavior and guided us towards nonlinear and nonradial studies. Searching and providing theoretical explanation for these newly found phenomena became a central question, as well as understanding their connection to the oldest enigma of RR Lyrae stars, the Blazhko effect. We attempt to summarize the highest impact RR Lyrae results based on or inspired by the data of the Kepler space telescope both from the nominal and the K2 missions. Besides the three most intriguing topics, the period doubling, the low-amplitude modes, and the Blazhko effect, we also discuss the challenges of Kepler photometry that played a crucial role in the results. The secrets of these amazing variables, uncovered by Kepler, keep the theoretical, ground-based and space-based research inspired in the post-Kepler era, since light variation of RR Lyrae stars is still not completely understood. Keywords: RR Lyrae stars, Kepler spacecraft, Blazkho effect, pulsating variable stars, horizontal-branch stars, pulsation, asteroseismology, nonradial oscillations 1 INTRODUCTION RR Lyrae stars are large-amplitude, horizontal-branch pulsating stars which serve as tracers and distance indicators of old stellar populations in the Milky Way and neighboring galaxies.
