Images and Light Curves of the Radio Remnants of Novae
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Radio observations of novae provide direct information about masses, temperatures, and velocities of ejected material, particularly when the radio remnants are resolved or imaged. The radio images of Nova QU Vul 1984 indicate that the mass in its ejecta is 3.6·10−4M⊙, confirming the generally higher masses inferred from radio light curves. All thermally-emitting nova shells that can be observed by the VLA should be resolveable, allowing determination of angular sizes and asymmetries.
