The outbursts of classical and recurrent novae |
|
| Authors: | MF Bode |
| Abstract: | In this review, I present our current state of knowledge regarding both Classical Nova and Recurrent Nova systems. Two particular objects (V1974 Cyg and RS Oph) are chosen to illustrate the range of phenomena that may be associated with their outbursts. The wider importance of nova research is emphasised and some of the most pressing unsolved problems are summarised (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) |
