Abstract
The Severi variety of plane curves of a given degree and exactly nodes admits a map to the Hilbert scheme of zero-dimensional subschemes of of degree . This map assigns to every curve its nodes. For some , we consider the image under this map of many known divisors of the Severi variety and its partial compactification. We compute the divisor classes of such images in Pic and provide enumerative numbers of nodal curves. We also answer directly a question of Diaz-Harris about whether the canonical class of the Severi variety is effective.
