We report the detection of carbon monoxide (CO) and dust, formed under hostile conditions, in recurrent nova V745 Sco about 8.7 days after its 2014 outburst. The formation of molecules or dust has not been recorded previously in the ejecta of a recur... Read More about Snowflakes in a Furnace: Formation of CO and Dust in a Recurrent Nova Eruption.

Infrared spectroscopy of the 2022 eruption of the recurrent nova U Sco (2023)
Journal Article
Evans, A., Banerjee, D. P. K., Woodward, C. E., Geballe, T. R., Gehrz, R. D., Page, K. L., & Starrfield, S. (2023). Infrared spectroscopy of the 2022 eruption of the recurrent nova U Sco. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 522(4), 4841-4851. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad1209

We present near-infrared spectroscopy of the 2022 eruption of the recurrent nova U Sco, over the period from 5.2 to 45.4 days after outburst. This is the most intensive infrared study of this nova. Our observations started early after the outburst an... Read More about Infrared spectroscopy of the 2022 eruption of the recurrent nova U Sco.
