In the news this morning:
Gamma Rays observed from Nova eruption for the first time...
V407 Cyg in Nova Cygni 2010 (originally discovered by amateurs) !
Journo article (full of sensationalist lingo, mind you ..):

"Astronomers using NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have detected gamma-rays from a nova for the first time, a finding that stunned observers and theorists alike. The discovery overturns the notion that novae explosions lack the power to emit such high-energy radiation."
"Scientists believe the emission arose as a million-mile-per-hour shock wave raced from the site of the explosion."
Good to get some more hard info to 'true up' theories.
Science in progress !
Cheers
