abstract
Nova Scorpii 2008 was the target of our Directory Discretionary Time proposal at VLT+UVES in order to study the evolution, origin and abundances of the heavy-element absorption system recently discovered in 80% of classical novae in outburst. The early decline of Nova Scorpii 2008 was monitored with high resolution echelle spectroscopy at 5 different epochs. The analysis of the absorption and the emission lines show many unusual characteristics. Nova Scorpii 2008 is confirmed to differ from a common Classical Nova as well as a Symbiotic Recurrent Nova, and it shows characteristics which are common to the so called, yet debated, red-novae. The origin of this new nova remains uncertain.

TYC 3801-1529-1 is claimed to have the lowest known contact-binary mass ratio, q = 0.024, making it a candidate for a binary merger.
Photoionisation modelling of V404 Cygni's nebular phase reproduces observed Balmer decrement, HeII/Halpha ratio, and Halpha equivalent width, constraining ejecta density, ionisation, and spectral slope, and yielding an outflow mass likely exceeding the accreted mass.
Binary evolution modeling constrains donor masses of 14-23 solar masses for two luminous red novae and shows dust masses are 1-5 orders of magnitude below total ejected envelope masses.
A synthesis of observational data on red novae as stellar merger events, including outburst properties, progenitor diversity, and long-term remnants.
