Accretion and outflow in V404 Cyg

Accretion and outflow in V404 Cyg

We study the optical evolution of the 2015 outburst in V404 Cyg, with emphasis on the peculiar nebular phase and subsequent decay to quiescence. From the decay timescale of the Balmer emission associated with the nebula we measure an outflow mass M_wind~4x10^{-6} Msun. Remarkably, this is ~100 times larger than …
