ISO observations of V723 Cas and other classical novae in outburst
Abstract
The ISO mission gave us a unique opportunity to follow the evolution of nova eruptions in detail in the infrared, and there was an active ISO target-of-opportunity programme to observe novae in eruption. Many of the ISO observations were near-simultaneous with ground-based observations, giving wavelength coverage over 100 octaves - another unique feature of this programme. This paper gives an overview of these observations and describes target-of-opportunity observations of the nova V723 Cas (1995), carried out with the SWS and LWS over a period of some 600 days.
