Prospects for detectability of classical novae with INTEGRAL
M. Hernanz, J. Gomez-Gomar, J. Jose +1
Classical novae are potential gamma-ray emitters, both in lines and in a continuum. Continuum emission (at energies between 20-30 and 511 keV) and line emission at 511 keV are rela…
Influence of new reaction rates on 18F production in novae
Alain Coc, Margarita Hernanz, Jordi Jose +1
Gamma-ray emission from classical novae is dominated, during the first hours, by positron annihilation resulting from the beta decay of radioactive nuclei. The main contribution co…
Gamma-ray emission of classical novae and its detectability by INTEGRAL
M. Hernanz, J. Gomez-Gomar, J. Jose +2
A lot of information concerning the mechanism of nova explosions will be extracted from the possible future observations with INTEGRAL. In order to be prepared for this task, we ar…
Nuclear uncertainties in the NeNa-MgAl cycles and synthesis of 22Na and 26Al in classical novae
Jordi Jose, Alain Coc, Margarita Hernanz
Classical novae eject significant amounts of matter into the interstellar medium, as a result of thermonuclear runaways. Nucleosynthesis associated with nova outbursts includes pro…
On the ^7 Li and ^7 Be synthesis in novae
M. Hernanz, J. Jose, A. Coc +1
The production of ^7 Li and ^7 Be during the explosive hydrogen-burning that occurs in nova explosions is computed by means of a hydrodynamic code able to treat both the accretion…
