Abstract
We argue that the Bondi accretion mechanism has the potential to enhance classical nova production near the M87 jet. According to our estimates, the jet's influence can increase the nova rate in its vicinity by up to a factor of two over the background rate by triggering explosions on single white dwarfs. This result may offer a straightforward explanation for the recently observed excess of novae near the M87 jet.
