A review of the present status of nova modeling is made, with a special emphasis on some specific aspects. What are the main nucleosynthetic products of the explosion and how do they depend on the white dwarf properties (e.g. mass, chemical composition: CO or ONe)? What's the imprint of nova nucleosynthesis on meteoritic presolar grains? How can gamma rays, if observed with present or future instruments onboard satellites, constrain nova models through their nucleosynthesis? What have we learned about the turnoff of classical novae from observation with past and present X-ray observatories? And last but not least, what are the most critical issues concerning nova modeling (e.g. ejected masses, mixing mechanism between core and envelope)?

- X-Ray Emissions from Accreting White Dwarfs: A Review (2017, background): “More troublingly, Warner (2002) noted that a mean synchronization time of ∼300 yrs implied a nova recurrence time of all polars needed to be of order 5000 yrs to explain the presence of four asynchronous systems among 68 polars known at the time.”
