Abstract
The accretion of hydrogen rich matter onto the surface of a white dwarf, assuming that the accreted matter keeps a small part of its gravitational falling energy, is investigated. The influence of this energy excess on the hydrogen ignition and the thermal instability that follows is described and discussed.
