SUMMARY:Nova Research at Liverpool JMU
DESCRIPTION:Nova Research at Liverpool JMU\nDr. Michael Bode\n\nThe Astroph
 ysics Research Institute (ARI) was established at LJMU in 1992. Today the 
 Institute comprises around 70 staff and research students working on topic
 s ranging from stellar evolution to cosmology. In this talk I will give an
  overview and some highlights of the work undertaken in recent years on Cl
 assical and Recurrent novae by the nova group of the ARI. This involves mu
 lti-frequency observations of both Galactic novae and those in Local Group
  galaxies and includes topics such as the exploration of their potential l
 inks to the progenitors of Type Ia supernovae. Along the way, I will brief
 ly describe the work of the Liverpool Telescope on La Palma, one of whose 
 primary science drivers is the efficient and effective observation of tran
 sient objects such as these, and look forward to our plans for the develop
 ment of an even larger and faster-reacting robotic telescope at ORM - curr
 ently codenamed 'LT2".
