Description
With its rapid response capabilities and daily planning of its
observing schedule, the Neil Genrels Swift Observatory is ideal for
following up transient objects. Over the 20 years since launch, Swift
has observed a large number of novae, from classical to recurrent, and
Galactic to extra-galactic. This sample includes four recurrent novae
which have each been followed through repeated eruption cycles. In
this talk I will present results from these sources, comparing and
contrasting the evolution from their multiple outbursts, in both the
spectral and temporal domains.
