| contents | A common envelope (CE) is proposed as the origin of the early postoutburst spectra of many novae. A simple model is proposed to explain the properties of the CE based on the emission line strengths and an assumed density distribution. Rapid changes in the spectrum during postoutburst decline are suggested as possible evidence for a CE. Time-resolved spectra from the ARAS group show sudden spectral shifts that are correlated with detected gamma ray emission, suggestive of its possible origin on the WD that produces a change in condition within the CE. Episodic mass loss, formation of thea transient heavy element absorption systems, and dissipation of the CE may be triggered by gamma ray emission. |
