Scientific paper

Classical and variable novae can be differentiated on the basis of the amplitude and frequency of their eruptions. Attention is given in this study to binary stars, especially to late-type stars. Binary system dynamics are evaluated, including: orbit, stellar spectra, gravitational field, and stellar masses. Also discussed are characteristics of the gas envelope: its mass and expansion parameters, variations in brightness, and emission of frequencies of short-period oscillation. It is pointed out, however, that observations of the gas envelope are to a large extent still inconclusive.
