The Effect of a Close Binary Companion on a Nova Outburst
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Extract
We compare two hydrodynamic calculations of thermonuclear runaways in material accreted by a 1M⊙ white dwarf of initial luminosity 10−3L⊙. In both cases the CNO abundances are taken to be near solar (ZCNO = 0.014). The only difference between the calculations is that in one sequence of models (seq.B) the additional energy generation due to the interaction between the expanding nova envelope and a close red dwarf companion is allowed for, using a simple model based on that of Paczynski (1976).
