Not your average space explosion: Very long baseline array finds classical novae are anything but simple

While studying classical novae using the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), a graduate researcher uncovered evidence showing that the objects may have been erroneously typecast as simple. The new observations, which detected non-thermal emission from a classical nova with a dwarf companion, were presented at a press conference during the 242nd proceedings of the American Astronomical Society in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
