Three-dimensional SPH simulations of the interaction between the nova ejecta and the companion star

Joana Figueira

Abstract: (English) Classical and Recurrent novae are thermonuclear explosions hosted by accreting white dwarfs in stellar binary systems. Material piles up on top of the white dwarf star under mildly degenerate conditions, driving a thermonuclear runaway. The energy released by the suite of nuclear processes operating at the envelope heats the material up to peak temperatures ranging from 100 to 400 MK. In these events, about 10^-3 - 10^-7 M¿, enriched in CNO and, sometimes, other intermediate-mass elements (e.g., Ne, … Show more
