TL;DR
This paper analyzes WISE infrared data on classical and recurrent novae, revealing diverse spectral energy distributions and providing insights into their progenitor systems and post-eruption characteristics.
Contribution
It offers a comprehensive survey of novae using WISE data, identifying spectral features and detecting post-eruption novae for the first time in this dataset.
Findings
Diverse spectral energy distributions observed
Detection of novae eruptions after the survey
Insights into progenitor systems obtained
Abstract
We present the result of trawling through the WISE archive for data on classical and recurrent novae. The data show a variety of spectral energy distributions, including stellar photospheres, dust and probable line emission. During the mission WISE also detected some novae which erupted subsequent to the survey, providing information about the progenitor systems.
