Modeling CHANDRA Low Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer Observations of Classical Novae with PHOENIX
Alexander Petz, Peter H. Hauschildt, Jan-Uwe Ness +1
We use the PHOENIX code package to model the X-ray spectrum of Nova V4743 Sagittarii observed with the LETGS onboard the Chandra satellite on 19 March 2003. To analyze nova atmosph…

A Chandra LETGS observation of V4743 Sagittarius: A Super Soft X-ray Source and a Violently Variable Light Curve
J. -U. Ness, S. Starrfield, V. Burwitz +13
V4743 Sgr (Nova Sgr 2002 No. 3) was discovered on 20 September 2002. We obtained a 5ks ACIS-S spectrum in November 2002 and found that the nova was faint in X-rays. We then obtaine…

Nuclear Reaction Rate Uncertainties and their effects on Nova Nucleosynthesis Modeling
W. Raphael Hix, Michael S. Smith, Anthony Mezzacappa +2
The nucleosynthesis and other observable consequences of a nova outburst depend sensitively on the details of the thermonuclear runaway which initiates the outburst. One important…
