In particular, we show that the super-Eddington shell burning state is a natural consequence of the equations of stellar structure, and that the predicted mass loss in the super-Eddington state agrees with nova observations. We also find that the transition phase of novae can be naturally explained as \"stagnating\" winds.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-07-29T22:40:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "97.30.Qt", "97.10.Xq", "97.10.Cv", "97.10.Me" ], "keywords": [ "classical novae", "steady state super-eddington objects", "super-eddington shell burning state", "super-eddington state agrees", "natural consequence" ], "tags": [ "conference paper", "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP", "journal": "AIP Conf.
