In recent years knowledge of nova phenomena has grown significantly
due to the advent of new observational facilities, both on the
ground and in space, and considerable advances in theoretical work.
This second edition has been fully updated and revised and contains
new contributions covering important developments in this field,
and reflecting on interesting new insights into classical novae.
The book examines thermonuclear processes, the evolution of nova
systems, nova atmospheres and winds, the evolution of dust and
molecules in novae, nova remnants, and observations of novae in
other galaxies. It includes observations across the electromagnetic
spectrum, from radio to gamma rays, and discusses some of the most
important outstanding problems in classical nova research. This is
the only book devoted solely to the study of classical novae, and
as such is an important reference for researchers actively engaged
in the subject and graduate students seeking an introduction.
