Scientific paper

Two calculations of thermonuclear runaways in solar composition material (Z = 0.02) accreted by a 1-solar mass white dwarf are compared. The interaction of the expanding envelope with a red dwarf companion is included in only one of the evolutionary sequences. A slow nova results when this binary interaction is included but when it is omitted the outbursts more nearly resemble the very slow novae, like RR Tel and RT Ser.
