Maccarone et al. (2019) concluded that ASASSN-16oh is the first dwarf nova with supersoft X-ray originated from an equatorial accretion belt on a white dwarf (WD). Hillman et al. (2019) proposed a thermonuclear runaway model that both the X-rays and $V$/$I$ photons are emitted from the hot WD. We calculated the same parameter models as Hillman et al.'s and found that they manipulated on/off the mass-accretion, and their best fit $V$ light curves are 6 mag fainter, and decay about 10 times slower, than that of ASASSN-16oh. We propose a nova model induced by high rate mass-accretion during a dwarf nova outburst, i.e., the X-rays originate from a surface of the hydrogen-burning WD whereas the $V/I$ photons from the irradiated disk. Our model explains the main observational properties of ASASSN-16oh. We also obtained thermonuclear runaway models with no-mass-ejection for a wide range of parameters of the WD mass and mass accretion rates including both natural and forced novae in low-metal environments of $Z=0.001$ and $Z=0.0001$. They are a new type of periodic supersoft X-ray sources with no-mass-ejection, and also a bright transient in $V$/$I$ bands if they have a large disk. We suggest that such objects are a candidate of type Ia supernova progenitors because its mass is increasing at a very high efficiency $(\\sim 100 \\%)$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-02-25T08:03:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "nova outburst", "old populations", "asassn-16oh", "thermonuclear runaway model", "no-mass-ejection" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
