Nova outburst are true multi-wavelength and probably multi-messenger sources, emitting copious flux from the radio range to gamma-rays; a nearby symbiotic nova may also have a measurable neutrino flux. I observe novae in X-rays to study the physical parameters of the massive white dwarfs in novae, and to obtain the spectra of the ejecta. The latter reveal new - or seldom observed - atomic physics. I will summarize how our findings are constraining binary evolution, and how we learn new facts about violent astrophysical shocks.
Journal Club takes place on Mondays at 11:15 AM in the Seminar Room. The presentation is given in English and is chaired by Journal Club Coordinators. Anyone interested in giving a Journal Club talk is encouraged to contact the email: journalclub(@camk.edu.pl).
