Sakurai's object: spectroscopic monitoring and nebula observations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Extract
Sakurai's object is thought to be undergoing a final thermal pulse or shell flash. It is the first example of this type of object to be studied using modern instrumentation and will be useful and unique for the time being for placing theoretical models of these transient events on a firm observational footing. The only other definite candidate is V605 Aql – now the WC central star of the planetary nebula Abell 58 – which is thought to have undergone a final thermal pulse around 1918.
