Scientific paper

This paper reviews general features common to all novae, classical or recurrent, from a multi-wavelength perspective, although concentrating on the 1000 - 8000Å range, for which the greatest wealth of high resolution data exists. Particular information derived from line profiles will be highlighted, e.g. abundances, mixing within the ejecta, fossilized instabilities and symmetries of the expanding gas, radial dependence of the velocity and density, and time dependent ionization. Energetics of the outburst, especially the prolonged constant luminosity phase following initial outburst, will be discussed along with the evidence for super-Eddington phases of the later outburst. Finally, contrasts between Galactic and Magellanic Cloud novae are discussed with a view toward extending studies to extragalactic novae with future ground-based and satellite observatories.
