Formation of coronal lines in the spectra of novae. II

Journal Article · · Sov. Astron. AJ (Engl. Transl.), v. 17, no. 1, pp. 11-15
OSTI ID:4400948
The time dependenee of coronal-line intensities in nova spectra is calculated and compared with the observations. The thermal-relaxation process behind the shock front in the circumstellar envelope is analyzed in detail, taking into account the ionization and excitation of helium. This procedure yields an estimate for the mass loss by recurrent novae between outbursts. (auth)
