Nova explosions occur on the white dwarf component of a cataclysmic variable binary stellar
system that is accreting matter lost by its companion. When sufficient material has been …

A classical nova results from runaway thermonuclear explosions on the surface of a white
dwarf that accretes matter from a low-mass main-sequence stellar companion. In 2012 and …

We report on studies of classical nova (CN) explosions where we follow the evolution of
thermonuclear runaways (TNRs) on carbon–oxygen (CO) white dwarfs (WDs). We vary both …

Abstract In this White Paper we present the potential of the enhanced X-ray Timing and
Polarimetry (eXTP) mission for studies related to Observatory Science targets. These include …

Recent observations suggest our understanding of mass loss in classical novae is
incomplete, motivating a new theoretical examination of the physical processes responsible …

Recently, there has been a significant level of discussion of the correct treatment of Kelvin–
Helmholtz instability (KHI) in the astrophysical community. This discussion relies largely on …

We present the first three-dimensional, fully compressible gas-dynamics simulations in 4π
geometry of He-shell flash convection with proton-rich fuel entrainment at the upper …

The envelopes accreted by white dwarf stars from their hydrogen-rich companions
experience thermonuclear-powered runaways, observed as classical nova eruptions …

The statistics of intermittent ocean turbulence is the key link between physical understanding
of turbulence and its global implications. The log-normal distribution is the standard but …

Growing evidence for shocks in nova outflows includes (1) multiple velocity components in
the optical spectra;(2) hard X-ray emission starting weeks to months after the outburst;(3) an …
