T CrB photometry and spectroscopy requested for HST and XMM-Newton observations

Active Dates: Aug. 3, 2021 – Sept. 30, 2021


Abstract:

Monitoring the symbiotic recurrent nova T CrB in support of multiwavelength observations scheduled with HST and XMM-Newton in August and September.

Justification:

The campaign's goal is to observe the rate of accretion through the disk and onto the white dwarf and the rate of wind mass loss, leading up to the next nova eruption in a few years' time. This data will complement upcoming HST and XMM-Newton observations.
