Professor Tom Marsh and Dr Danny Steeghs have just had a paper accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal entitled 'The expanding bipolar shell of the helium nova V445 Puppis'. This article concerns an explosive event caused by fusion of helium on the surface of a white dwarf in a binary star system. State of the art adaptive optics imaging was used to resolve the outflow from this event as it expands. The scale of the image covers less than a thousandths of a degree.
