X-ray detection of Nova Herculis 1991 five days after optical outburst

CLASSICAL nova outbursts are thought to occur in binary systems in which a white dwarf accretes material from a main-sequence dwarf. The outburst is due to thermonuclear runaway in the accreted material, and results in the ejection of about 10 −5 –10 −4 solar masses of material at velocities of up t...
