The reported 14 evolutionary sequences, followed from the onset of accretion up to the explosion and ejection stages, span a range of CO and ONe white dwarf masses (0.8-1.35 $M_o$) and mixing levels between the accreted envelope and the underlying white dwarf core (25-75%). The synthesis of each isotope, from ${}^1$H to ${}^{40}$Ca, is discussed along with its sensitivity to model parameters. Special emphasis is given to isotopes such as ${}^{13}$C, ${}^{15}$N, and ${}^{17}$O, which may account for a significant fraction of their Galactic content. Production of the radioactive isotopes ${}^7$Be, ${}^{22}$Na, and ${}^{26}$Al is also analyzed, since they may provide a direct test of the thermonuclear runaway model through their $\\gamma$-ray emission. The resulting elemental yields reproduce fairly well the spectroscopic abundance determinations of several well studied classical novae.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1997-09-16T15:36:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "classical novae", "elemental yields reproduce", "nucleosynthesis", "spectroscopic abundance determinations", "thermonuclear runaway model" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 38, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 462125 } } }
