V4334 Sgr (Sakurai's object) is an enigmatic evolved star that underwent a very late thermal pulse a few years before its discovery in 1996. It ejected a new, hydrogen-deficient nebula in the process. Emission lines from the newly ejected…

CCD UBVRi photometry of the final helium flash object V4334 Sgr (Sakurai's Object), carried out during 1997 - 1999, is presented, and the light curve from its pre-discovery rise to the dust obscuration phase is constructed. The optical…

We present a $0.8-2.5\,\mu$m spectrum of the Very Late Thermal Pulse object V4334 Sgr (Sakurai's Object), obtained in 2020 September. The spectrum displays a continuum that rises strongly to longer wavelengths, and is considerably brighter…

The central star V4334 Sgr (Sakurai's Nova) of the planetary nebula PN G010.4+04.4 underwent in 1995-1996 the rare event of a very late helium flash. It is only one of two such events during the era of modern astronomy (the second event was…

After becoming ionized, low-density astrophysical plasmas will begin a process of slow recombination. Models for this still have significant uncertainties. The recombination cannot normally be observed in isolation, because the ionization…

We investigate the reheating of the very late thermal pulse (VLTP) object V4334 Sgr (Sakurai's Object) using radio observations from the Very Large Array, and optical spectra obtained with the Very Large Telescope. We find a sudden rise of…

V4334 Sgr (a.k.a. Sakurai's object) is the central star of an old planetary nebula that underwent a very late thermal pulse a few years before its discovery in 1996. We have been monitoring the evolution of the optical emission line…

The central star V4334 Sgr (Sakurai's Nova) of the planetary nebula PN G010.4+04.4 underwent in 1995-1996 the rare event of a very late helium flash. It represents only one out of two such events during the era of modern astronomy (the…

We present an observation of the very late thermal pulse object V4334 Sgr (Sakurai's Object) with the Infrared Spectrometer (IRS) on the Spitzer Space Telescope. The emission from 5-38 microns is dominated by the still-cooling dust shell. A…

The optical photometric evolution of the final helium flash object V4334 Sgr from 1994 to 2000 is described. The rise to optical maximum (1994 - 1996) is characterized by a continuous increase of color indices, indicating a slowly…

We report the results of monitoring of V4334 Sgr (Sakurai's Object) at 450 microns and 850 microns with SCUBA on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. The flux density at both wavelengths has increased dramatically since 2001, and is…

Sakurai's object (V4334 Sgr) is a born again AGB star following a very late thermal pulse. So far no stellar evolution models have been able to explain the extremely fast evolution of this star, which has taken it from the pre-white dwarf…

We present an analysis of the evolution of circumstellar dust and molecules in the environment of the very late thermal pulse object V4334 Sgr (Sakurai's Object) over a $\sim20$-year period, drawing on ground-, airborne- and space-based…

We present UKIRT UIST spectra of Sakurai's Object (=V4334 Sgr) showing CO fundamental band absorption features around 4.7 microns. The line-centres are at heliocentric radial velocity of -170+/-30 km/s. The number and relative strengths of…

In 1996, Sakurai's object (V4334 Sgr) suddenly brightened in the centre of a faint Planetary Nebula (PN). This very rare event was interpreted as the reignition of a hot white dwarf that caused a rapid evolution back to the cool giant…

We present a stellar evolution model sequence of the past and future evolution of the post-AGB born again star Sakurai's object (V4334 Sgr). In order to match the short evolutionary time scale we have to assume that the convective ingestion…

Optical spectra of the Very Late Thermal Pulse (VLTP) object V4334 Sgr have shown a rapidly changing spectrum resulting from shocks in the outflow, which created a new bipolar nebula inside the old nebula. We see C II and C III emission…

The H II region created by the progenitor of SN 1987A was further heated and ionized by the supernova flash. Prior to the flash, the temperature of the gas was 4000 - 5000 K, and helium was neutral, while the post-flash temperature was only…

We present key results from deep spectra of the Diffuse Ionized Gas (DIG) halo of the edge-on galaxy NGC 5775. [NII]6583 has been detected up to about z=13 kpc above the plane in one of two vertically oriented long slits -- making this the…

(Abridged) We present high-resolution spectra of the interstellar NaI and CaII absorption lines for 3 early-type stars along the line-of-sight towards the Shajn 147 SNR. These are supplemented with far-UV aborption spectra of HD 36665 and…
