SUMMARY:Stellar Life After Death: Violent Explosions on White  Dwarf Stars
DESCRIPTION:
 Dr Laura Chomiuk describes her lecture:  Nova 
 means new in Latin, but in the sky a brilliant 
 nova explosion occurs not on a new star but 
 on an old one.  These explosions involve binary 
 stars, one member of which is a white dwarf. 
  White dwarf stars, with masses comparable 
 to the sun but diameters like that of the Earth, 
 have reached the end of their normal energy 
 producing lives.  The explosions of nova 
 and their kin, how they are different from supernova 
 explosions, and how we explain them 
 are the topics for this Astronomical Horizons 
 lecture.\n\n
