The phenomena taking place as a result of a nova outburst indicate that a shock wave is propagated to the surface of the star. It may be the result of an explosion in the interior of the star. The hypothesis that peripheral thermo-nuclear explosions cause the outbursts of novae, and perhaps also those of nova-like stars, was advanced in 1947[1]. By ‘peripheral’ we mean some spherical layer which we shall name the A layer.
