Oxygen-neon novae form a subset of classical novae events known to freshly synthesize nuclei up to mass number A 40. Because several gamma-ray emitters lie in this mass range, these novae are also interesting candidates for gamma-ray astronomy. The properties of excited states within those nuclei in

## Abstract In this review, I present our current state of knowledge regarding both Classical Nova and Recurrent Nova systems. Two particular objects (V1974 Cyg and RS Oph) are chosen to illustrate the range of phenomena that may be associated with their outbursts. The wider importance of nova rese
It appears that the main mechanism of 44Ti nucleosynthesis in supernovae involves an alpha-rich freezeout of hot matter. Late assembly of x2C nuclei via triple alpha reactions is followed by a rapid sequence of captures upward to the 44Ti. Considering that radioactive 44Ti is one of the premier targ
