Observatory Science with eXTP
Ping Zhou, Jirong Mao, Liang Zhang +97
Scheduled for launch in 2030, the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarization (eXTP) telescope is a Chinese space-based mission aimed at studying extreme conditions and phenomena in ast…
The orbital period of the recurrent nova V2487 Oph revealed
Pablo Rodríguez-Gil, Jesús M. Corral-Santana, Nancy Elías-Rosa +3
We present the first reliable determination of the orbital period of the recurrent nova V2487 Oph (Nova Oph 1998). We derived a value of d ( h) from…
Search for 7Be in the outburst of four recent novae
Paolo Molaro, Luca Izzo, Piercarlo Bonifacio +3
Following the recent detection of 7Be in the outburst spectra of Classical Novae we report the search for this isotope in the outbursts of four recent bright novae by means of high…
The supersoft X-ray source in V5116 Sgr I. The high resolution spectra
G. Sala, J. U. Ness, M. Hernanz +1
Classical novae occur on the surface of an accreting white dwarf in a binary system. After ejection of a fraction of the envelope and when the expanding shell becomes optically thi…
A remarkable recurrent nova in M31: Discovery and optical/UV observations of the predicted 2014 eruption
M. J. Darnley, M. Henze, I. A. Steele +20
The Andromeda Galaxy recurrent nova M31N 2008-12a had been caught in eruption eight times. The inter-eruption period of M31N 2008-12a is ~1 year, making it the most rapidly recurri…
A remarkable recurrent nova in M 31: The predicted 2014 outburst in X-rays with Swift
M. Henze, J. -U. Ness, M. J. Darnley +7
The M 31 nova M31N 2008-12a was recently found to be a recurrent nova (RN) with a recurrence time of about 1 year. This is by far the fastest recurrence time scale of any known RNe…
X-ray monitoring of classical novae in the central region of M31. III. Autumn and winter 2009/10, 2010/11 and 2011/12
M. Henze, W. Pietsch, F. Haberl +7
[Abridged] Classical novae (CNe) represent the major class of supersoft X-ray sources (SSSs) in the central region of our neighbouring galaxy M31. We performed a dedicated monitori…
M31N 2008-05d: A M 31 disk nova with a dipping supersoft X-ray light curve
M. Henze, W. Pietsch, F. Haberl +4
Classical novae (CNe) represent a major class of supersoft X-ray sources (SSSs) in the central region of our neighbouring galaxy M 31. Significantly different SSS properties of CNe…
The deep XMM-Newton Survey of M 31
H. Stiele, W. Pietsch, F. Haberl +5
Aims. M 31 has been completely imaged for the first time obtaining a luminosity lower limit ~10^35 erg s-1 in the 0.2-4.5 keV band. Our XMM-Newton EPIC survey combines archival obs…
From X-ray dips to eclipse: Witnessing disk reformation in the recurrent nova USco
J. -U. Ness, B. E. Schaefer, A. Dobrotka +9
The 10th recorded outburst of the recurrent eclipsing nova USco was observed simultaneously in X-ray, UV, and optical by XMM-Newton on days 22.9 and 34.9 after outburst. Two full p…
X-ray monitoring of classical novae in the central region of M 31. I. June 2006 - March 2007
M. Henze, W. Pietsch, F. Haberl +9
(Abridged) Classical novae (CNe) have recently been reported to represent the major class of supersoft X-ray sources (SSSs) in the central region of our neighbour galaxy M 31. We c…
X-ray observations of classical novae. Theoretical implications
M. Hernanz, G. Sala
Detection of X-rays from classical novae, both in outburst and post-outburst, provides unique and crucial information about the explosion mechanism. Soft X-rays reveal the hot whit…
A deep XMM-Newton survey of M 31
H. Stiele, W. Pietsch, F. Haberl
The deep homogeneous survey of the large Local-Group spiral galaxy M 31 is a milestone project for X-ray astronomy, as it allows a detailed X-ray inventory of an archetypal low-sta…
The frequency of occurrence of novae hosting an ONe white dwarf
P. Gil-Pons, E. Garcia-Berro, J. Jose +2
In this paper, we revisit the problem of the determination of the frequency of occurrence of galactic nova outbursts which involve an oxygen-neon (ONe) white dwarf. The improvement…
