A Hubble Space Telescope survey for novae in M87. I. Light and color curves, spatial distributions, and the nova rate

Shara, Michael M.; Doyle, Trisha F.; Lauer, Tod R.; Zurek, David R.; Neill, James D.; Madrid, Juan P.; Mikołajewska, Joanna; Welch, Douglss L.; Baltz, Edward A. (2016-11-08)

The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged the central part of M87 over a 10 week span, leading to the discovery of 32 classical novae (CNe) and nine fainter, likely very slow, and/or symbiotic novae. In this first paper of a ...
A Hubble Space Telescope Survey for Novae in M87. II. Snuffing out the Maximum Magnitude-Rate of Decline Relation for Novae as a Non-standard Candle, and a Prediction of the Existence of Ultrafast Novae

Shara, Michael M.; Doyle, Trisha F.; Lauer, Tod R.; Zurek, David R.; Baltz, Edward A.; Kovetz, Attay; Madrid, Juan P.; Mikołajewska, Joanna; Neill, James D.; Prialnik, Dina (2017-04-21)

The extensive grid of numerical simulations of nova eruptions from the work of Yaron et al. first predicted that some classical novae might significantly deviate from the Maximum Magnitude-Rate of Decline (MMRD) relation, ...
