The Z Cam-type dwarf nova AT Cancri (AT Cnc) displays a classical nova (CN) shell, demonstrating that mass transfer in cataclysmic binaries decreases substantially after a CN eruption. The hibernation scenario of cataclysmic binaries predicts such a... Read More about When does an old nova become a dwarf nova? Kinematics and age of the nova shell of the dwarf nova AT Cancri.
