abstract

Pre-outburst signal (a decrease of the optical brightness) just before the outburst is clearly detected in the observations of the T CrB obtained before and during the 1946 outburst. A similar decrease is also visible in the light curve of RS Oph during the 2021 outburst. We suppose that this is due to formation of a thick, dense envelope around the white dwarf, and we estimate its size (1000 - 2000 km), mass (5.10$^{-8}$ - 6.10$^{-7}$ M$_\odot$) and average density (5 - 16 g cm$^{-3}$).

  1. Modeling the high-brightness state of the recurrent nova T CrB as an enhanced mass-transfer event

    astro-ph.SR 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    T CrB's 15-year brightening is best explained by a temporary hundredfold increase in mass transfer onto a high-viscosity disk, with the pre-eruption dip caused by an inner disk edge expanding at 0.02 km/s.
