Definition of novae in English English dictionary: plural of nova
Nova: Smoked Nova Scotia salmon
nova: any sudden brightening of a previously inconspicuous star
nova: Star that suddenly erupts into an object of great brilliance, surpassing the Sun's luminosity by a factor of hundreds of thousands to millions of times and then fading more slowly
nova: A star that abruptly and temporarily increases its brightness by a factor of hundreds of thousands Unlike supernovae (much more violent explosions which destroy the stars that produce them), stars that "go nova'' can do so more than once Novae are thought to occur in binary stars in which one member is a compressed dwarf star (such as a white dwarf or a neutron star) orbiting close to a much larger star According to this theory, material from the larger star's outer layers accumulates on the dwarf's surface, becoming ever hotter and more compressed by the dwarf's strong gravity, until the ~stolen'' material explodes [See supernova, binary star, white dwarf, and neutron star]
nova: an object that greatly increases in brightness rapidly, so it appears as a ``new star'' It is caused by the buildup on a white dwarf's surface of hydrogen gas from a companion star to the point where the hydrogen fuses explosively into helium The super-rapid fusion does not blow up the white dwarf, so the process can repeat itself (contrast with a Type I supernova)
nova: A star which suddenly becomes many times brighter than previously, and then gradually fades
nova: A star that flares up to several times its original brightness for some time before returning to its original state
nova: A new star, usually appearing suddenly, shining for a brief period, and then sinking into obscurity
nova: a star that ejects some of its material in the form of a cloud and become more luminous in the process
nova: A star that abruptly increases in brightness by a factor of a million A nova is caused in a binary star system where hydrogen-rich material is transferred to the surface of a white dwarf until sufficient material and temperatures exist to kindle explosive nuclear fusion
nova: An explosion on the surface of a binary star because of a chain reaction
nova: A star that explodes, temporarily increasing its brightness 100000 or more
nova: A "new" star or a very old dying star A sudden brightening of a star making it appear "new" in the sky; believed associated with eruptions on white dwarfs in binary systems Observations can help us understand what a nova is
nova: A star that suddenly and temporarily brightens, thought to be due to new material being deposited on the surface of a white dwarf
nova: A star which suddenly flares up to many times its original brightness before fading again
nova: A type of suddenly brightening star (from the Latin for ``new'') resulting from explosive brightening when gas is dumped from one member of a binary star pair onto the other
nova: NGO: Vietnam/Australian Program, AusAID
nova: An existing star which suddenly increases its brightness by more than 10 magnitudes and then slowly fades O
nova: = 1 'Mech Star and 1 infantry Star (5 'Mechs 25 Elementals) Supernova =1 'Mech Binary and 2 infantry Stars (10 'Mechs 50 Elementals)
nova: A star which, from natural causes, experiences a sudden increase in brightness Stars experiencing an explosive increase are called supernovas
nova: {i} star which suddenly becomes very bright and then returns to its previous brightness over a period of time (Astronomy)
nova: Such appearances are supposed to result from cosmic collisions, as of a dark star with interstellar nebulosities
nova: A faint star that suddenly becomes bright, becoming visible from where no star had been seen before Only two or three novae are discovered each year Most novae are binary stars
nova: novas novae a star which explodes and suddenly becomes much brighter for a short time supernova. Any of a class of stars whose luminosity temporarily increases by several thousand up to a million times normal. Most appear to be close binary stars, one of which is a white dwarf star drawing in matter from the other until it becomes unstable, causing an outburst in which the outer layer of material is shed. A nova reaches maximum luminosity within hours after its outburst and may shine intensely for several days or even a few weeks; it then slowly returns to its former level. The process can repeat at intervals ranging from a few dozen to hundreds of thousands of years. Stars that become novas are usually too faint to see with the unaided eye until their sudden increase in luminosity, sometimes great enough to make them readily visible in the night sky. To observers, such objects may appear to be new stars; hence their name (Latin for "new"). See also supernova
