dc.descriptionClassical novae are potential gamma-ray emitters, both in lines and in a continuum. Continuum emission (at energies between 20-30 and 511 keV) and line emission at 511 keV are related to positron annihilation and its Comptonization in the expanding shell; 18F is the main responsible of positron production. The lines at 478 and 1275 keV have their origin in the decay of the radioactive nuclei 7Be and 22Na. Updated models of nova explosions have been adopted for the computation of the gamma-ray emission. New yields of some radioactive isotopes directly translate into new detectability distances of classical novae with INTEGRAL.
