Classical novae are the results of surface thermonuclear explosions of hydrogen accreted by white dwarfs (WDs) from their low-mass main-sequence or red-giant binary companions. Chemical composition analysis of their ejecta shows that nova outbursts o... Read More about MESA and NuGrid simulations of classical nova outbursts and nucleosynthesis.
