Echoes of an explosive past: Solving the mystery of the first superluminal source

MF Bode, TJ O'Brien, M Simpson - The Astrophysical Journal, 2003 - iopscience.iop.org
The classical nova GK Persei rivaled the brightness of Vega at the peak of its outburst in

Thermal stability and nova cycles in permanent superhump systems

A Retter, T Naylor - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2000 - academic.oup.com
Archival data on permanent superhump systems are compiled to test the thermal stability of
their accretion discs. We find that their discs are almost certainly thermally stable as …
