AbstractWe present ultraviolet and X-ray observations of the eclipsing SU UMa dwarf nova OY Car early in the decline from a superoutburst. From the UV emission line spectrum and lack of X-ray eclipse, we deduce the presence of an extended coronal region.

We investigate the structure of an X-ray heated accretion disk in active galactic nuclei. It is found that X-ray heating can prevent the disk to be disrupted by its self-gravity under sufficient X-ray heating. The disk size can be two orders of magnitute larger than that limited by self-gravity of the disk without X-ray heating. An accretion disk corona will be formed by X-ray heating and can be a site for line emission. We present such emission line spectra which range from optical to hard X-ray energies and compare with the observational data.

AbstractNovae ejecta pass through four distinct phases of evolution of the emission-line spectrum, caused by different ionization characteristics of the shell. These include a neutral (I), an auroral (II), a coronal (III), and a nebular (IV) phase. Photoionization from the contracting photosphere of the hot white dwarf is the source of the ionization, including the highly ionized coronal phase. Changing emission line ratios in certain novae that develop dust are caused by condensation of grains from the gas, and can be used to determine the composition of the dust. In V1370 Aql, substantial silicate grain formation appears to have taken place, probably within the ionized gas.
