Annihilation of positrons from $^{22}$Na in novae

High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena 2021-03-09 v1

Abstract

We explore for the first time effects of the magnetic field on the escape of 22^{22}Na positrons and on the flux evolution of annihilation 511 keV line in novae. It is shown that for the white dwarf magnetic field of 106\sim 10^6 G the field of the expanding nova shell is able to significantly impede positrons escape and increase the time of the nova emission in 511keV up to hundreds days.
