Simulating a Stellar Binary Merger. II. Obtaining a Light Curve

Luminous red novae are enigmatic transient events distinguished by a rapid rise in luminosity, a plateau in luminosity, and spectra, which become redder with time. The best-observed system before, during, and after the outburst is V1309 Sco. We model a candidate V1309 Sco progenitor binary configura...
