List of novae

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


  • Comment: Duplicates the mentioned list (the VAST majority of the novae on this list are from the Milky Way) and List of novae in 2018/List of novae in 2019, which also list extragalactic novae. Perhaps consider a move discussion to make the existing article a broader list. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:32, 30 August 2026 (UTC)


Artist's conception of a white dwarf, right, accreting hydrogen from the Roche lobe of its larger companion star

A nova is a transient astronomical event that causes the sudden appearance of a bright, apparently "new" star (hence the name "nova", Latin for "new"; the shortened form of "stella nova", Latin for "new star") that slowly fades over weeks or months. All observed novae involve white dwarfs in close binary systems, but causes of the dramatic appearance of a nova vary, depending on the circumstances of the two progenitor stars. The main sub-classes of novae are classical novae, recurrent novae (RNe), and dwarf novae. They are all considered to be cataclysmic variable stars.
