Scientific paper

The recurrent nova T Pyxidis is one of only 20 novae with known shells, and the only recurrent nova with clearly resolved circumstellar matter. A unique and once-in-a-generation opportunity will exist during T Pyxidis's next eruption to determine: 1} The uniformity and isotropy of material {both dust and different chemical elements} ejected in previous eruptions, and 2} the smallest structures formed in nova eruptions. We propose to use ACS to image T Pyx after it erupts to search for flourescence and reflection light echoes from, and small-scale structure in, the nova circumstellar gas and dust ejecta.
