A Review of the Classical Nova Outburst [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1987
AbstractWe review the recent observational and theoretical studies of the nova outburst. The observational studies have not only identified a new class of novae but theoretical simulations of this class have been found to be in excellent agreement with the observations.

123–321 models of classical novae [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2020
Context.High-resolution spectroscopy has revealed large concentrations of CNO and sometimes other intermediate-mass elements (e.g., Ne, Na, Mg, or Al, for ONe novae) in the shells ejected during nova outbursts, suggesting that the solar composition material transferred from the secondary mixes with the outermost layers of the underlying white dwarf ...

The Behavior of Novae Light Curves Before Eruption [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In 1975, E. R. Robinson conducted the hallmark study of the behavior of classical nova light curves before eruption, and this work has now become part of the standard knowledge of novae.

Thermonuclear Runaways on Accreting White Dwarfs: Models of Classical Novae Explosions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The mechanism of classical novae explosions is explained, together with some of their observational properties. The scarce but not null impact of novae in the chemical evolution of the Milky Way is analyzed, as well as their relevance for the ...

Theory of Classical Novae [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of The Golden Age of Cataclysmic Variables and Related Objects - III — PoS(Golden2015), 2017
We briefly review the current understanding of classical novae. Nova light curves basically exhibit a homologous nature, beside the dust blackout and oscillatory behavior, in spite of very different evolution timescale from fast to slow novae. Optically thick winds governs the evolution of decay phase of nova outbursts, of which mass-loss rate ...

A 9 Month Hubble Space Telescope Near-UV Survey of M87. I. Light and Color Curves of 94 Novae, and a Redetermination of the Nova Rate

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
M87 has been monitored with a cadence of 5 days over a span of 9 months through the near-ultraviolet (NUV; F275W) and optical (F606W) filters of the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) of the Hubble Space Telescope.

Binary orbits as the driver of γ-ray emission and mass ejection in classical novae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Classical novae are the most common astrophysical thermonuclear explosions, occurring on the surfaces of white dwarf stars accreting gas from companions in binary star systems.

Relation between Long-term Activity and Luminosity of the Pre- and Post-novae CT Ser and V446 Her

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We show a relation of the pre- and post-nova activity of CT Ser (nova 1948) and V446 Her (nova 1960), known to have remarkably similar orbital periods P _orb . We use both photographic and CCD photometric observations.

WSO/UV: World Space Observatory/Ultraviolet [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We summarize the capabilities of the World Space Observatory (UV) Project (WSO/UV). An example of the importance of this project (with a planned launch date of 2007/8) for the study of Classical Novae is given.Comment: 4 pages, To appear in the ...
