Getting to know classical novae with Swift
Novae have been reported as transients for more than two thousand years. Their bright optical outbursts are the result of explosive nuclear burning of gas accreted from a binary companion onto a white dwarf.

The Kukarkin-Parenago Relation for Dwarf Novae and Novae [PDF]
AbstractThe period-amplitude relation and the period-energy relation for dwarf novae and novae are discussed. The total outbursts energy is shown to be a more suitable characteristic of the outburst than its amplitude.

AT Cnc: A SECOND DWARF NOVA WITH A CLASSICAL NOVA SHELL [PDF]
We are systematically surveying all known and suspected Z Cam-type dwarf novae for classical nova shells. This survey is motivated by the discovery of the largest known classical nova shell, which surrounds the archetypal dwarf nova Z Camelopardalis.

Dwarf nova outbursts with magnetorotational turbulence [PDF]
The phenomenological Disc Instability Model has been successful in reproducing the observed light curves of dwarf nova outbursts by invoking an enhanced Shakura-Sunyaev $α$ parameter $\sim0.1-0.2$ in outburst compared to a low value $\sim0.01$ in quiescence.

Temperatture esttiimattiion off EXDRA and SSUMI dwarff Nova systtems from spectroscopic data
The seasonal behavior of the light curve for selected star SS UMI and EXDRA during outburst cycle is studied. This behavior describes maximum temperature of outburst in dwarf nova.

Observational data on mass-transfer rates and radii of disks indicate that the outer parts of disks in novae and nova-like binaries are sufficiently hot for stationary accretion; those in dwarf novae are too cool to avoid an accretion instability, while these in Z Cam systems are the borderline cases.

Transient behaviour of three SU UMa-type dwarf novae: AR Pic, QW Ser, and V521 Peg
Changes in the supercycle lengths of some SU UMa-type dwarf novae have been detected by other studies, and indicate that the mass transfer rates noticeably decrease over time.

Outbursts of dwarf novae [PDF]
A review is given of the observational facts related to the outbursts of dwarf novae and of relevant aspects of the theory of accretion disks. It now appears possible to explain the outbursts of dwarf novae in terms of a nonstationary accretion behavior. Between the outbursts, the material supplied by the secondary component is stored in the relatively

Irradiated accretion discs in post novae [PDF]
We derive approximations for the $\dot M-\Sigma$ relation (the so-called S-curves) of irradiated accretion discs from detailed vertical structure calculations.
