Gamma-ray signatures of classical novae

Astrophysics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

The role of classical novae as potential gamma-ray emitters is reviewed, on the basis of theoretical models of the gamma-ray emission from different nova types. The interpretation of the up to now negative results of the gamma-ray observations of novae, as well as the prospects for detectability with future instruments (specially onboard INTEGRAL) are also discussed.
