Extended Data Fig. 3

Modeling of daily emission in proton model (left panels) and electron model (right panels) for first, second, third and fourth day after the nova eruption (from top to bottom). The dashed line shows the gamma rays from the π0 decay and the dotted line shows the inverse Compton contribution of the secondary e ± pairs produced in hadronic interactions. dN/dE p and dN/dEe report the shape of the proton and electron energy distributions obtained from the fit. The bottom panel shows the fit residuals. Error bars represent 1-sigma statistical uncertainties in the data points.
