5) A nova can occur when a white dwarf, which is the dense core of a once-normal star,
"steals" gas from its nearby companion star. When enough gas builds up on the
surface of the white dwarf it triggers an explosion of rapid hydrogen fusion (think of
this as a hydrogen flash). Assuming Enova - 1038 joules and all this energy is coming
from hydrogen fusion, estimate how much mass used in this process.
#7
A nova dwarf has: mass 0.85 Mʘ, radius 0.0095 Mʘ, transfer rate ofmass 5.0 × 10-10 Mʘ / year during its active phase lasting 10 days.
Estimate the total energy released and the absolute brightness of dwarf nova during the active phase.
