Nova Delphini 2013 is considered one of the “classical novae.” These brighten when explosive nuclear reactions occur in materials accumulated on the surface of a white dwarf star in a close ...

Recently, Ph.D. candidate Guo Yunlang and Prof. Wang Bo from Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences investigated the white dwarf (WD) mixing fraction in classical novae.

While studying classical novae using the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), a graduate researcher uncovered evidence showing that the objects may have been ...

This shows that there is a large diversity within classical novae and implies that nova explosions alone cannot explain the amount of lithium seen in the current Universe.

These results will be published in The Astrophysical Journal on July, 2021 as Akira Arai et al. “Detection of 7Be II in the Classical Nova V5669 Sgr (Nova Sagittarii 2015 No. 3).” ...

Classical novae occur in a binary star system with a white dwarf and a star close enough together that the white dwarf pulls, or accretes, material from its companion.
