Physics of Classical Novae

Proceedings of Colloquium No. 122 of the International Astronomical Union. Held in Madrid, Spain, on 27-30 June 1989

Herausgegeben: Cassatella, Angelo; Viotti, Roberto

Beschreibung

Satellite observations in various previously unexplored spectral regions have provided a host of data on novae over the last decade. This carefully refereed conference volume is devoted to classical novae and related objects. Around 30 papers discuss observations (basic properties of novae, outbursts, and nebular ejecta), theoretical considerations, and models of observations. In addition the reader will find an introductory review on binary stars by R.P. Kraft and a summary by P. Eggleton of the papers and posters presented at the conference. To help the reader in finding any specific subject or stellar object the volume concludes with a detailed index.

Autor

For the first time, in these proceedings, observations, models, and the theory of classical novae are discussed following some ten years of satellite observations in a broad range of spectra. This collection, very useful for students of astrophysics, is introduced by a review article on the subject and closes with a summary.
