Abstract

We present non-LTE model atmosphere calculations for the LMC nova 1988 #1 during the optically thick phase shortly after the outburst. The models are able to reproduce the characteristic features of the observed spectra and will be used to determine the atmospheric parameters and chemical abundances of LMC novae.
