2 Novae have been observed in all λ (detected in γ-rays for E>100 MeV) Moderate rise times (<1 2 days): 8 18 magnitude increase in brigthness L Peak ~ L Stellar binary systems: WD + MS (often, K-M dwarfs) Recurrence time: ~ 10 yr (RNe) 10 5 yr (CNe) Frequency: 30 ± 10 yr -1 [Obs.; ~ 5 yr -1 ] E ergs Mass ejected: M (~10 3 km s -1 )

Hydrodynamics Energy transport Shell model Optical potentials Plasma properties Astrophysical Models Observables: light curves, spectra, abundances... Reaction rates, EOS, opacities... ~10 m ~1 10 μm Cosmochemistry Spectroscopy, photometry
4 Current Challenges for Classical Novae The amount of mass ejected predicted by 1-D models is somewhat smaller than that *inferred* observationally The mixing mechanism at work at the core-envelope interface during nova outbursts is not fully understood
