AIP Conference Proceedings 637


Conference Location and Date: Sitges, Spain, 20-24 May 2002

Subseries: Astronomy and Astrophysics

Published October 2002; ISBN 0-7354-0092-X One Volume, Print; 605 pages; 6 3/8 X 9 1/4 inches; Hardcover; $198.00

Readership: Astronomers and physicists working in stellar evolution, observational astronomy, nuclear astrophysics, and numerical astrophysics; PhD students in similar fields; undergraduate students following astronomy courses.

The book reviews our current knowledge about Classical Nova Explosions, including all the recent advances from both theoretical and observational points of view. The volume covers a large number of topics, such as the astrophysical scenario, the explosion mechanism (including recent multidimensional approaches), light curves and spectra, and observations based on ground and space facilities, covering all wavelength ranges from radio and infrared to X and gamma-rays. Topics include: novae, cataclysmic variables, nucleosynthesis, white dwarfs, observations (optical, IR, radio, UV, x-rays, gamma-rays).
