- Consider A 10 4m Layer Of Hydrogen On The Surface Of A White Dwarf If This Layer Were Completely Fused Into Helium Ho 1 (41.79 KiB) Viewed 44 times
Consider a 10-4M. layer of hydrogen on the surface of a white dwarf. If this layer were completely fused into helium, how long would the resulting nova last (assuming a luminosity equal to the Eddington luminosity)? What does this say about the amount of hydrogen that actually undergoes fusion during a nova outburst?
