Classical novae, explosions that result from thermonuclear runaways (TNRs) on the
surfaces of white dwarfs (WDs) accreting hydrogen‐rich matter in close binary systems, are …

Our purpose in writing this book is to show how physics has been applied to developing our
current understanding of the phase structure, physical condi tions, chemical makeup and …

The outburst of Nova V1974 Cyg 1992 is arguably the best observed of this century, with
realistic estimates now available for the amount of mass ejected, the composition of the …

Explosive hydrogen burning in novae ADS Classic is now deprecated. It will be completely
retired in October 2019. This page will automatically redirect to the new ADS interface at that …

We calculate many different nova light curves for a variety of white dwarf masses and
chemical compositions, with the assumption that free-free emission from optically thin ejecta …

The infrared temporal development of classical novae ADS Classic is now deprecated. It will be
completely retired in October 2019. This page will automatically redirect to the new ADS …

We present deep, high-resolution optical spectra of two Galactic bulge planetary nebulae
(PN), M 1-42 and M 2-36. The spectra show very prominent and rich optical recombination …

Abstract 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. Only a handful of …

The nova outburst is a consequence of the accretion of hydrogen-rich material onto a white
dwarf in a close binary system and observations show that the accreting material must have …

We present high-quality optical spectroscopic observations of the planetary nebula (PN) Hf 2-
2. The spectrum exhibits many prominent optical recombination lines (ORLs) from heavy …
