If a binary includes a White Dwarf, gas pulled from a companion onto the White Dwarf's surface can fuse violently in a flash called a nova.

如果一个双星系统包含一个白矮星，从伴星上抽离的气体会落在白矮星的表面，在一瞬间引发猛烈的聚变反应，即新星。

The nova phenomenon generally occurs in a binary system that has as one member a very hot White Dwarf.

新星这种现象一般发生在双星系统中，其中一颗子星是非常热的白矮星。
