Astronomers from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) have recently spotted Far Ultraviolet (FUV) emissions from novae for the first time in the neighbouring Andromeda galaxy.
Novae is a transient astronomical event that causes the sudden appearance of a bright, apparently new star that slowly fades over weeks or months.
FUV is a radiation that refers to the wave band of ultraviolet radiation with the wavelengths ranging from around 200 to 280 Nano-meters.
