Scientific paper

We propose to obtain spectrophotometry with CHANDRA, plus ground based optical and IR spectra of one bright nova in outburst. Our previous X-ray studies have shown that X-rays are the best tool for studying the hot phases of the outburst. In Cycle 1 we obtained grating spectra of V382 Vel and V1494 Aql. V382 Vel showed only emission lines while V1494 showed a spectrum resembling those of the Super Soft X-ray Sources (suggested as SN Ia progenitors). These spectra allowed us to study the composition of the underlying white dwarf, the lifetime of the TNR phase of the outburst, and the energy budget of the explosion. More data on one more nova is necessary since the behavior of these two novae was so different, as expected from theory.
