Scientific paper

We propose an AXAF ACIS-I observation to study the detailed morphology and the spectrum of the nova shell of GK Persei 1901 SIMULTANEOUSLY in X-ray wavelengths. The shell was recently detected with the ROSAT HRI, thus no spectral information was derived from the data. We plan to exploit the spatial and spectral capabilities of the ACIS-I detector in order to study the spectrum of the source in comparison to other wavelengths. We expect that such an observation will have great implications on our understanding of the classical novae evolution , outburst mechanisms together with the interaction of the nova shells with their environments of interstellar or circumstellar origin and physics of strong shock formation.
