Abstract

Recent infrared studies of classical novae are described. The nucleation and growth of dust in nova ejecta was confirmed by optical/infrared photometry of several novae during the past five years including QU Vul, V842 Cen, V827 Her, and QV Vul. These novae provided evidence that dust of every astrophysical chemical and mineral composition can condense in nova ejecta.Infrared forbidden fine structure lines were identified in the recent novae V1819 Cyg, QU Vul, OS And, and V827 Her. The implication of IRAS measurements for nova energetics is discussed.
