Fermi-lat gamma-ray detections of classical novae V1369 Centauri 2013 and V5668 Sagittarii 2015

We report the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) detections of high-energy (>100 MeV) \u3b3-ray emission from two recent optically bright classical novae, V1369 Centauri 2013 and V5668 Sagittarii 2015. At early times, Fermi target-of-opportunity observations prompted by their optical discoveries provided enhanced LAT exposure that enabled the detections of \u3b3-ray onsets beginning \u2dc2 days after their first optical peaks. Significant \u3b3-ray emission was found extending to 39-55 days after their initial LAT detections, with systematically fainter and longer-duration emission compared to previous \u3b3-ray-detected classical novae. These novae were distinguished by multiple bright optical peaks that encompassed the time spans of the observed \u3b3-rays. The \u3b3-ray light curves and spectra of the two novae are presented along with representative hadronic and leptonic models, and comparisons with other novae detected by the LAT are discussed
