Every 15 to 20 years, enough material from the red giant builds up on the surface of the white dwarf to cause a thermonuclear explosion. In astronomy, these systems are known as novae, as they cause the sudden appearance of a bright, apparently &quot;new&quot; star.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff; color:#000000\">RS Oph has recorded outbreaks in 1898, 1933, 1958, 1967, 1985, 2006 and 2021. In fact, all novae are recurrent, but only very few of them have recurrence periods short enough (shorter than 100 years) so that they have more than one recorded outburst.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff; color:#000000\">Its<\/span><strong> last eruption in 2021<\/strong><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff; color:#000000\"> was observed by the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/glast.sites.stanford.edu\/\" style=\"text-decoration:none;\"><u>Large Area Telescope (LAT) of the Fermi mission<\/u><\/a><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff; color:#000000\">, the Cherenkov Telescope Array <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mpi-hd.mpg.de\/HESS\/\" style=\"text-decoration:none;\"><u>H.E.S.S.<\/u><\/a><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff; color:#000000\"> in Namibia and the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iac.es\/es\/observatorios-de-canarias\/telescopios-y-experimentos\/magic-telescopes\" style=\"text-decoration:none;\"><u>MAGIC<\/u><\/a><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff; color:#000000\"> Cherenkov Telescopes in the Canary Islands (Spain). <\/span><strong>This was the first time an explosion like this was observed in the Milky Way in very high-energy gamma rays by ground-based telescopes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff; color:#000000\">The outbreak of RS Oph in 2021 confirms the predictions that <\/span><strong>Margarita Hernanz<\/strong><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff; color:#000000\">, researcher from the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ieec.cat\/\" style=\"text-decoration:none;\"><u>Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia<\/u><\/a><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff; color:#000000\"> (IEEC &mdash; Institut d&#39;Estudis Espacials de Catalunya) at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ice.csic.es\/\" style=\"text-decoration:none;\"><u>Institute of Space Sciences<\/u><\/a><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff; color:#000000\"> (ICE-CSIC), made in 2006, about the emission of very high-energy gamma rays related to particle acceleration in this recurrent nova. This study was published in The Astrophysical Journal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Particle acceleration was not considered feasible in novae until the observation of RS Oph<\/strong><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff; color:#000000\">, so it has become a key object for studying the microphysics of particle acceleration in astrophysical shock waves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff; color:#000000\">In the 2006 paper, co-authored by Hernanz with V. Tatischeff, the authors analysed the observations of the outburst with radio, infrared, and X-ray telescopes, and studied the shock wave generated by the explosion that swept at thousands of kilometres per second the red giant star wind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff; color:#000000\">Hernanz and Tatischeff predicted an acceleration of protons in this shock wave to energies of several teraelectronvolts (TeV) and<strong> a potentially observable gamma emission for several days after the explosion<\/strong>. This was the first prediction ever of such a process in a nova explosion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff; color:#000000\">Scientists deduced from observations at all wavelengths in 2006 that particle acceleration had occurred in RS Oph as a consequence of strong collisions between the nova&#39;s ejecta and the red giant&#39;s wind. At that time, gamma rays could not be detected due to the absence of sensitive enough gamma instruments. Nonetheless, <\/span><strong>the observation of the RS Oph explosion in 2021 confirms the 2006 predictions<\/strong><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff; color:#000000\"> very accurately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff; color:#000000\">Existing observations at different wavelengths of this nova explosion in 2006 were crucial to discover particle acceleration (protons and electrons) and contributed to the study of diffusive acceleration theory in novae, previously applied to supernova explosions only. &ldquo;The fact that the process is much faster in novae than in supernovae&mdash;because less mass is involved in nova explosions&mdash;will allow us to study such processes in more detail&rdquo;, says Hernanz.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Press release prepared in collaboration with the Institute of Space Sciences (ICE-CSIC).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Main Image<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000\">Caption: Artistic view of the nova RS Oph, composed of a white dwarf that accretes material from a red giant.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000\">Credits: superbossa.com\/MPP.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Links<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff; color:#222222\">&#8211; <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ieec.cat\/\" style=\"text-decoration:none;\"><u>IEEC<\/u><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color:#ffffff; color:#222222\">&#8211; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ice.csic.es\/\" style=\"text-decoration:none;\"><u>ICE-CSIC<\/u><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color:#ffffff; color:#222222\">&#8211; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/glast.sites.stanford.edu\/\" style=\"text-decoration:none;\"><u>Large Area Telescope (LAT)<\/u><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color:#ffffff; color:#222222\">&#8211; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mpi-hd.mpg.de\/HESS\/\" style=\"text-decoration:none;\"><u>H.E.S.S.<\/u><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000\">&#8211; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iac.es\/es\/observatorios-de-canarias\/telescopios-y-experimentos\/magic-telescopes\" style=\"text-decoration:none;\"><u>MAGIC<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>More information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff; color:#222222\">This finding was presented at the 7th Heidelberg International Symposium on High-Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy (Gamma2022) in Barcelona (Spain) on 4-8 July 2022.
