Multicolour photometry of a new dwarf nova CSS130418 in Hercules, which underwent superoutburst on April 18, 2013, allow to classified it as a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova. The phase light curves for different stages of superoutburst ...

Recent Swift X-ray monitoring campaigns of novae have revealed extreme levels of variability during the early super-softsource (SSS) phase. The first time this was observed was during the 2006 outburst of the recurrent ...

Novae are generally considered to be hot astronomical objects and show effective temperatures up to 10,000 K or higher at their visual maximum. But, it is theoretically predicted that the outer envelope of the nova outflow ...

Spectroscopic and photometric monitoring observations of nova Apl 2012 (V1724 Apl) were conducted at Koyama Astronomical Observatory, Fujii-Kurosaki Observatory and Bisei Astronomical Observatory. The nova was initially ...

We briefly review the current theoretical understanding of the light curves of novae. These curves exhibit a homologous nature, dubbed the universal decline law, and when time-normalized, they almost follow a single curve ...

Novae are certainly very exciting at the time of their eruptions, and there is much work left to be done in understanding all of the details of that part of their existence, but there is also much to be learned by looking ...

Here we present the preliminary results of a project aimed at unveiling the nature of classical novae decades after their eruption. The ultimate goal of this project is to describe the population of cataclysmic variables ...

From our ongoing survey to study the post-nova population we present details on the four objects V728 Sco, AR Cir, V972 Oph and X Cir.

The nova V5584 Sgr was discovered during 2009 October. It has been monitored in different domains of the electromagnetic spectrum: optical, infrared and X-rays. The optical and infrared observations suggest that V5584 Sgr ...

We summarize the results of the extremely slow nova V1280 Sco and discuss the approach using discrete multiple blueshifted absorption lines, such as metastable He i* and Na i D, detected in our high-resolution spectra.
