In the course of a long-term project investigating classical novae with large outburst amplitudes, we have performed multi-wavelength photometry and optical spectroscopy of several old nova candidates. We here introduce the aim of the project, the search for low mass-transfer novae with short orbital periods, and explain the method to recover these old novae via their colour characteristics. Finally we concentrate on first results for selected objects in our sample.

Resumen

Resumen

Durante un proyecto a largo plazo dedicado a la investigación de novas clásicas con explosiones de grandes amplitudes hemos llevado a cabo fotometría a múltiples longitudes de onda y espectroscopía óptica de varios candidatos de novas viejas. Introducimos aquí el objetivo del proyecto, la búsqueda de novas con baja transferencia de masa y períodos orbitales cortos, y explicamos el método para recuperar estas novas viejas a través de sus características de color. Finalmente nos concentramos en los primeras resultados para una selección de objetos de nuestra muestra.
