The Masses and Accretion Rates of White Dwarfs in Classical and Recurrent Novae [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 Models have long predicted that the frequency-averaged masses of white dwarfs (WDs) in Galactic classical novae are twice as large as those of field WDs.

On a century of extragalactic novae and the rise of the rapid recurrent novae [PDF]
Advances in Space Research, 2019 Novae are the observable outcome of a transient thermonuclear runaway on the surface of an accreting white dwarf in a close binary system. Their high peak luminosity renders them visible in galaxies out beyond the distance of the Virgo Cluster.

Accrete, Accrete, Accrete… Bang! (and repeat): The remarkable Recurrent Novae [PDF]
Proceedings of The Golden Age of Cataclysmic Variables and Related Objects V — PoS(GOLDEN2019), 2019 All novae recur, but only a handful have been observed in eruption more than once. These systems, the recurrent novae (RNe), are among the most extreme examples of novae. RNe have long been thought of as potential type Ia supernova progenitors, and their

The 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.

Theory of Nova Outbursts and Type Ia Supernovae
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2015 We briefly review the current theoretical understanding of the light curves of novae. These curves exhibit a homologous nature, dubbed the universal decline law, and when time-normalized, they almost follow a single curve independently of the white dwarf

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2007 The WZ Sge type stars is a rare subclass of the cataclysmic variables (CVs). It possesses the properties of both dwarf novae and recurrent novae. The WZ Sge stars have the shortest orbital periods (typically 80 - 90 minutes) known among the dwarf novae ...

Evidence for Multiple Shocks from the γ-Ray Emission of RS Ophiuchi
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 In 2021 August, the Fermi Large Area Telescope, H.E.S.S., and MAGIC detected GeV and TeV γ -ray emission from an outburst of recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi. This detection represents the first very high-energy γ -rays observed from a nova, and it opens a new

Recurrence of Nova Explosions [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1979 It has been shown by many computations that a nova explosion is triggered by mass accretion onto a white dwarf in a close binary system. Such nova explosions will recur many times in the following way. When a certain amount of hydrogen-rich gas has been accreted on the white dwarf, a hydrogen-shell flash is ignited.

Recurrent novae and long-term evolution of mass-accreting white dwarfs – toward the accurate mass retention efficiency [PDF]
Proceedings of The Golden Age of Cataclysmic Variables and Related Objects IV — PoS(GOLDEN 2017), 2017 The mass growth rate of mass-accreting white dwarfs (WDs) is a key factor in binary evolution scenarios toward Type Ia supernovae. Many authors have reported very different WD mass increasing rates.
