Abstract
The nova super-remnant (NSR) surrounding M 31N 2008-12a (12a), the annually erupting recurrent nova (RN), is the only known example of this phenomenon. As this structure has grown as a result of frequent eruptions from 12a, we might expect to see NSRs around other RNe; this would confirm the RN–NSR association and strengthen the connection between novae and type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) as NSRs centered on SN Ia provide a lasting, unequivocal signpost to the single degenerate progenitor type of that explosion. The only previous NSR simulation used identical eruptions from a static white dwarf (WD). In this Paper, we simulate the growth of NSRs alongside the natural growth/erosion of the central WD, within a range of environments, accretion rates, WD temperatures, and initial WD masses. The subsequent evolving eruptions create dynamic NSRs tens of parsecs in radius comprising a low-density cavity, bordered by a hot ejecta pile-up region, and surrounded by a cool high-density, thin, shell. Higher density environments restrict NSR size, as do higher accretion rates, whereas the WD temperature and initial mass have less impact. NSRs form around growing or eroding WDs, indicating that NSRs also exist around old novae with low-mass WDs. Observables such as X-ray and H
