we have observed two distinct outbursts from a single extraordinary  recurrent nova. This model would imply that the \spock system has the  fastest known recurrence timescale of any nova (3 to 5 months).  Further, Furthermore,  if our estimate for the gravitational lensing magnification is correct, then \spock is about 2 orders of magnitude more luminous than an average nova. This model would therefore require then suggests  that the \spock system's primary star is a white dwarf very close to the  Chandrasekhar mass limit, and that it is drawing mass from the  secondary star at an extremely efficient rate \todo{(??? $>10^{-8}$  \Msun/yr ???).} This in turn suggests that this system is a strong  candidate to eventually explode as ($>10^{-7}$ \Msun  yr$^{-1}$), making it  a plausible  Type Ia Supernova. Supernova progenitor  candidate. We conclude with suggestions for lens modeling and  observational tests that could help to clarify the nature of this  unusual transient.  \end{abstract}      diff --git a/Classification.tex b/Classification.tex  index 398422b..25e75a0 100644  --- a/Classification.tex  +++ b/Classification.tex

\label{fig:RecurrentNovaRecurrenceComparison}  Comparison of the inferred \spock recurrence timescale against  observed RNe and models. In the left panel the outburst amplitude in  magnitudes is plotted against the recurrence timescale, while in the  right panel the y axis shows the peak luminosity (or absolute  magnitude). In both panels the joint constraints on \spock from both  transient episodes are plotted as large open diamonds, observed  constraints from the 10 galactic RNe appear as black 'x' points, and  the rapid-recurrence nova M31N 2008a-12 is shown with a thick black  '+' marker. Colored circles show the results from a suite of  numerical hydrodynamic simulations from \citep{Yaron:2005}. The size  of each circle indicates the mass of the primary white dwarf (WD) star  over the range 0.4-1.4 M$_\odot$, as indicated in the legend of the  left panel. The color of each circle denotes the rate of mass  transfer from the secondary onto the WD, as given in the right panel's  legend.  diff --git a/figures/recurrent_nova_recurrence_comparison/latexfigopts.json b/figures/recurrent_nova_recurrence_comparison/latexfigopts.json  new file mode 100644  index 0000000..d1eda17  --- /dev/null  +++ b/figures/recurrent_nova_recurrence_comparison/latexfigopts.json
