Effects of the Presence of Supercritical Winds
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Evidence is given that classical novae have optically thick winds for a certain time after optical maximum. Multifrequency observations especially of FH Ser indicate acceleration of the wind at very large optical depths, probably by radiation pressure of an object above the Eddington limit. This result though fairly convincing needs checking by proper radiative transfer calculations. A way in which it might be produced is mentioned as is the influence of the wind on the structure of the ejected envelope.
