Recent observations have revealed the existence of infrared brightening in some nova explosions, and its absence in others. These infrared excesses are ascribed to thermal emission from grains which are considered to consist of graphite. Such nova explosions are widely accepted to be triggered by hydrogen shell-flashes on the surface of white dwarfs which accrete matter in close binary systems. As for the hydrogen shell-flash, recently, a general theory applicable even to the case of finite amplitude has been developed. According to this theory, the progress of a shell-flash is determined only by the mass of the white dwarf MWD and the mass of the accreted hydrogen-rich envelope ΔMH.

AbstractWe examine the two-dimensional structure of m = 1 modes in disks around white dwarfs in close binary systems. We find that the odd modes (warping modes) as well as even modes (eccentric modes) are confined to the outermost part of the disk. The period of the fundamental mode is of a few percent of the binary period, and is insensitive to the parity of the mode. These modes naturally explain the superhump periods of SU UMa stars.

AbstractWe present models for Type I supernova light curves based on the explosion of partially solid white dwarfs in close binary systems. Studies of such explosions show that they leave bound remnants of different size. Our results reproduce quite well the maximun luminosities, the expansion velocities and the shape of the light curve. As the two basic papameters that govern the light curve, the ejected mass and the mass of 56Ni produced, are variable our models reproduce the slow and fast subclasses of “classical” Type I supernovae.
