Spectroscopic Signature of a Re-established Accretion Disk in Symbiotic-like Recurrent Nova RS Ophiuchi
Abstract
A novel method is presented which can pin down the time the accretion disk re-established itself in the RS Oph system after it experienced a nova disruption. The method is based on the re-ionization of the ejecta by photoionization from the radiation released in the boundary layer from accretion.
