Astronomy Reports Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Data on detections of gamma-ray line emission with COMPTEL experiment on board the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory in 1991–2000 are discussed and used to analyze the properties of classical novae. This emission is radiated during the decay of the radioactive isotope 22Na, which should be synthesized in thermonuclear explosions occurring on these novae.
