RECURRENT NOVA T Pyx:A NORMAL NOVA ERUPTION ~1866

MWD dominated by ejections of regular nova events, so is losing mass
Short-Porb recurrent novae are not SN progenitors

HALF OF THE RECURRENT NOVAE ARE NEON NOVAE
Half-or-more of RN will not become supernovae
A neon nova cannot have its WD gaining mass, because it is dredging up new material each eruption.
A neon nova must have an underlying ONeMg WD and cannot become a supernova, because it is not the required CO white dwarf.

Lack of any counterpart on pre-eruption HST images proves the companion cannot be a luminous red giant or a luminous Helium star.

Two RNe have Mejecta>>MDT
Half of the RNe are neon nova
T Pyx had a classical nova eruption in 1866 and is fast exiting the RN phase
SNR0509-67.5 has an empty central region to MV= +8.4
Out of a sample of 145 SNe, 0 have red giant companions(with similar but weaker restrictions for subgiant companions)
