| Abstract: |
Following the early Swift X-ray observations of the latest outburst of RS Oph (Bode et al. 2006), we present new 1D hydrodynamical models of the system which take into account all three phases of the remnant evolution. The differences between this wind model and previous Primakoff-type simulations are described. A more complex structure, even in 1D, is revealed and key outburst parameters are varied. The shock velocities as a function of time are compared to the ones derived in Bode et al. (2006). We show how the manner in which the matter is ejected controls the evolution of the shock and for a well-cooled remnant, how the shock deceleration rate depends on the amount of energy that is radiated away. |
