The 1999 Optical Outburst of the Fast X-Ray Nova, V4641 Sagittarii [PDF]
We report on the detection of an optical outburst which preceded the X-ray main flare of the fast X-ray nova V4641 Sagittarii. The object became active since early August 1999, and then experienced an optical outburst reaching 8.8 mag on 1999 September 15. The observed maximum was between two X-ray flares, that is, 12.1 hr after the X-ray sub-flare and

AT 2019qyl in NGC 300: Internal Collisions in the Early Outflow from a Very Fast Nova in a Symbiotic Binary* † [PDF]
Abstract Nova eruptions, thermonuclear explosions on the surfaces of white dwarfs (WDs), are now recognized to be among the most common shock-powered astrophysical transients. We present the early discovery and rapid ultraviolet (UV), optical, and infrared (IR) temporal development of AT 2019qyl, a recent nova in the nearby Sculptor ...

V1494 Aql: Eclipsing Fast Nova with an Unusual Orbital Light Curve [PDF]
Abstract We present the time-resolved photometry of V1494 Aql (Nova Aql 1999 No. 2) between 2001 November and 2003 June. The object is confirmed to be an eclipsing nova with a period of 0.1346138(2) d. The eclipses were present in all observed epochs.

Light curves and absolute magnitudes of four recent fast LMC novae [PDF]
AbstractThe light curves of four recent fast LMC novae (Nova LMC 1988a, 1992, 1995, 2000) have been analysed to obtain the parameter t2 the time for a two magnitude decline below maximum light. Using the calibration of Della Valle & Livio (1995), values of MV at maximum are obtained.

Swift X-Ray Observations of Classical Novae. II. The Super Soft Source sample
The Swift GRB satellite is an excellent facility for studying novae. Its rapid response time and sensitive X-ray detector provides an unparalleled opportunity to investigate the previously poorly sampled evolution of novae in the X-ray regime. This paper

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

Influence of an Oxygen‐Free Atmosphere on Diamond‐Single‐Grain Scratching of Ti–6Al–4V
Single‐grain scratching of Ti–6Al–4V is investigated under controlled, oxygen‐free, and ambient atmospheres using a novel experimental setup with in situ high‐speed imaging. The approach enables direct observation of chip formation and adhesion under suppressed oxidation.

Exploring the Maximum Magnitude versus Rate of Decline Relation for Novae in M31
The results of a two-decade-long R -band photometric survey of novae in M31 are presented. From these data, R -band light curves have been determined for 180 novae with data sufficient for estimating the peak brightness and subsequent rate of decline ...

Pre-maximum and maximum of Novae: The spectroscopic observations of Nova ASASSN-17hx [PDF]
The coverage of the pre-maximum stage of novae is sparse, with the exception of a few slow novae where the pre-maximum duration is of the order of some weeks.
