Snowflakes in a Furnace: Formation of CO and Dust in a Recurrent Nova Eruption

Snowflakes in a Furnace: Formation of CO and Dust in a Recurrent Nova Eruption

We report the detection of carbon monoxide (CO) and dust, formed under hostile conditions, in recurrent nova V745 Sco about 8.7 days after its 2014 outburst. The formation of molecules or dust has not been recorded previously in the ejecta of a recurrent nova. The mass and temperature of the CO and...
