Scientific paper
Nova binary systems are discussed noting that their existence can be deduced by one star's eclipsing the other or by the observation of a Doppler shift in spectral lines. Photographs are presented of the 1901 nova GK Persei, DQ Herculis, the 1918 Aquilae, the nova Cygni of 1975 and the recurrent nova T Pyxidis. Consideration is given to the difference between fast and slow novas and to the periodic dimming of a bright star. The chain of nuclear reactions thought to be responsible for nova outbursts is outlined and data from eight novas with observable shells are presented and compared.
