Hydrodynamic simulations of the recurrent nova T Coronae Borealis: Nucleosynthesis predictions

[Context] Recurrent novae are, by definition, novae observed in outburst more than once or identified by the presence of vast super-shells, ejected in previous eruptions, surrounding the system. These systems are characterized by remarkably short recurrence times between outbursts, typically ranging...

Sumario:[Context] Recurrent novae are, by definition, novae observed in outburst more than once or identified by the presence of vast super-shells, ejected in previous eruptions, surrounding the system. These systems are characterized by remarkably short recurrence times between outbursts, typically ranging from 1 to about 100 yr. Such short recurrence times require very high mass-accretion rates, white dwarf masses approaching the Chandrasekhar limit, and very high initial white dwarf luminosities.
