AbstractIn this paper we explore to what extent the TNR model of nova outbursts and our current concepts of the formation and secular evolution of cataclysmic binaries are compatible. Specifically we address the following questions: 1) whether observational selection can explain the high white dwarf masses attributed to novae, 2) whether novae on white dwarfs in the mass range 0.6M⊙ ≲ M ≲ 0.9M⊙ can occur and how much they could contribute to the observed nova frequency, and 3) whether the high mass transfer rates imposed on the white dwarf in systems above the period gap can be accommodated by the TNR model of nova outbursts.
