Cumulative (left) and differential (right) t₂ distributions of novae produced by one successful SN Ia progenitor, assuming that it accreted in the unstable nuclear burning regime throughout its entire accretion history. The numbers near the curves indicate the mass-accretion rate. The discontinuities in the differential distributions are caused by the discontinuity in the slope of log-linear interpolation of t₂ and M_WD values from Yaron et al. (2005) tabulation. They do not affect the cumulative distribution in any significant way, as can be seen in the left panel. The sharp drop in the distributions at low t₂ values corresponds to the fastest novae produced by the WD near the Chandrasekhar mass limit.
