Novae and the ISM
TNR
for M ≤ 10−8 − 10−7 M�/yr, part of the accreted material iscompressed into a degenerate state
Pauli⇒ new e− have to occupy higher energy levels⇒ Egas and Tgas ↑
(non-relativistic) degenerate gas: P ∝ V−5/3 ⇒ independent of T⇒ when Tgas > Tignition, degeneracy prevents envelope expansion
⇒ Thermonuclear Runaway (mainly CNO @ T ∼ 3× 107 K)
during TNR T increases further, so in principle at one point T > TF⇒ degeneracy is lifted, envelope can expand (slowly) and cool down
but: τnuc � τdyn ⇒ T increases much faster than (controlled) expansion+ convection depositing β+ unstable nuclei in envelope

Novae and the ISM
Chemical enrichment
∼35 nova eruptions per year in the Galaxy(Shafter, 1997, ApJ, 487, 226)
observed shell mass ∼ 2× 10−4 M�/yr
⇒ contributed mass rate ∼ 7× 10−3 M�/yr
in comparison, SNe: ∼ 6× 10−2 M�/yr
⇒ much less important than SNe(if not ∼10 times more elements are produced)
but: Mejected could actually be higher (Gehrz et al., 1998, PASP, 110, 3;Gehrz, 2013, “Stella Novae”, Cape Town)

Novae and SNe Ia
Mass evolution
Nova eruptions are the primary mechanism for mass loss in CVs
⇒ they prevent SNe Ia
and they’re doing a pretty good job, too:

Summary
Summary
CNe = TNR @ CV-WDsAll novae are recurrent but less so than Recurrent NovaeDon’t ignore old novae: CV parameters←→ Nova eruptionsNova WDs like to mix before they eruptNovae might shine even less standardly than previously assumedNovae prevent CVs from becoming SNe, though they might fail todo so in isolated cases
