A paper on the “Binary Parameters for the Recurrent Nova T Coronae Borealis” today reports the masses of the white dwarf and the red giant that comprise this binary system. The authors conclude that the WD mass is 1.37 +/- 0.01 M-sun. This would place it close to the Chandrasekhar instability limit.
