Suppression of Shock X-Ray Emission in Novae from Turbulent Mixing with Cool Gas

Shock interaction in classical novae occurs when a fast outflow from the white dwarf ≳1000 km s ^−1 collides with a slower, cooler shell of gas released earlier in the outburst. The shocks radiate across the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio synchrotron to GeV gamma rays. The hot shocked gas also...
