A Hubble Space Telescope Survey for Novae in M87. II. Snuffing out the Maximum Magnitude–Rate of Decline Relation for Novae as a Non-standard Candle, and a Prediction of the Existence of Ultrafast Novae

Provider: AAS Journals

Caption: Figure 4.

Same as Figure 1, but including 75 nova models from Yaron et al. (2005) represented as triangles colored according to the WD core temperature (in units of millions of Kelvins), and hence the luminosity of the WD in the nova binary.
