Scientific paper

The COMPTEL telescope on board the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) is capable of imaging γ-ray line sources, like classical novae, in the MeV regime at a level of sensitivity up to a few 10-5 photons cm-2 s-1. At this level of sensitivity quite high expectations can be placed on the detection of the predicted 22Na γ-ray line at 1.275 MeV from nearby novae. We have used COMPTEL data collected up to the 2nd CGRO reboost to update previously published limits for the sodium production by novae. Results of the 22Na line emission studies from the old and the most recent novae are discussed and compared with model predictions. .
