Spectroscopic Signature of a Re-established Accretion Disk in Symbiotic-like Recurrent Nova RS Ophiuchi [HEAP]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2303.14135


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-ionisation of the ejecta by photoionisation from the radiation released in the boundary layer from accretion.
