TCP J18573095+1653396 (Nova Her) is a few days old, peculiar classical nova, with very fast evolution of the optical light curve, and showing signs of both low- and high-velocity outflows. In these systems one might expect strong shocks to develop in regions where the various outflow components interact (like in the case of V959 Mon, revealed jointly by the EVN–MERLIN–VLA). This has been confirmed by the gamma-ray detection of TCP J18573095+1653396 by Fermi-LAT. We propose to probe the non-thermal regions -- the likely sites of relativistic particle acceleration -- with the highest angular resolutions using the joint e-EVN-e-MERLIN array. In case of a detection (and/or detection by other radio instruments at a later time), we request additional two epochs with a month or two separation between them, to further study the expanding outflows.
