of 13 magnitudes or, in other words, an increase in
brightness by a factor of 160,000 within a period of
several days. The absolute visual or photographic
luminosity at maximum can range as high as a million
times that of the Sun. Novae may decline rapidly from
peak luminosity or fade much more slowly. The novae
that show rapid decline are several magnitudes
brighter than those which decline more gradually.
As mentioned, it is believed that the nova explosion is
confined to a relatively thin layer of the star's
envelope, which expands and makes the star appear
to swell. After this bubble has been blown off, the star
appears little altered in either brightness or color. The
bubble or expanding envelope becomes transparent
as the expanding shell evolves into a nebula. The
total amount of stellar material lost is small, perhaps
one thousandth of the star's mass or less.
