A binary star may, or may not, be related to a nova or supernova. In some specific cases, a supernova is specifically caused by a close binary system; but not all binary systems result in novas, and not all novas come from binary stars.

Under what circumstances will a binary star produce a nova?

A binary star can produce a nova when one star in the binary system accretes material from its companion, causing a sudden increase in nuclear reactions and a release of energy that leads to a temporary brightening of the system. This can occur when the accreted material ignites on the surface of the star in a runaway nuclear reaction.

What causes a nova to explode?

A nova (as distinct from a supernova) is produced in a close binary system where one member is a white dwarf and the other a larger, less dense star. The white dwarf 'sucks' gas from the larger star which condenses into an accretion disc around the white star's equator. When this accretion disc reaches a critical mass it interacts with material on the white star and produces a huge thermonuclear explosion. This is what we see as a nova event. Novae are variable stars.
