Scientific paper

We present near-infrared photometry for a number of old classical novae and related objects, and we use the data to estimate the mass-transfer rates in these systems. There is no correlation between mass-transfer rate and time since outburst, at least over the timebase (140 yr) for which we have data, contrary to what is expected in the hibernation model. Our data also point to potential recurrent novae amongst the classicals, namely EU Sct and V3645 Sgr.
