APPROACHING DEATH. “It is likely that the WD will only experience one tidal nova before disruption. However, as the WD continues to inspiral, the tidal heating rate will increase steeply as a function of decreasing η. This strong dependence presents the possibility of multiple novae before disruption, which may produce a distinctive observational signature.” (WD = white dwarf).
