Caption: Figure 6.

Mass accretion rate, WD temperature, and accreted envelope mass at the time of eruption vs. t₂ for 75 nova models from Yaron et al. (2005). The colors of triangles in the top, middle, and lower panels correspond to the symbol keys in Figures 3–5. The least-squares fit straight line in the lower panel is discussed in the text.
