Abstract:Context. V1309 Sco is an example of a red nova, a product of the merger between non-compact stars. V1309 Sco is particularly important within the class of red novae due to the abundance of photometric data of the progenitor binary before the merger.
Aims. We aim to investigate the spatio-kinematic and chemical properties of the circumstellar environment, including deriving the physical conditions and establishing the origins of the different circumstellar components.
Methods. We used radiative transfer modelli… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
