The X-ray off-state of the supersoft source CAL 83 and its interpretation
arXiv:astro-ph/9612030 · doi:10.1093/mnras/286.2.483
Abstract
We consider simultaneous optical data obtained during the recent X-ray turn-off of CAL83. Combining the optical behaviour with the observed X-ray decay time, we show that a model of cessation of steady nuclear burning is viable if the white dwarf is massive. Our model provides a natural explanation for the subsequent return of the supersoft X-ray emission.
