The very short supersoft X-ray state of the classical nova M31N 2007-11a
M. Henze, W. Pietsch, G. Sala +9
Short supersoft X-ray source (SSS) states (durations < 100 days) of classical novae (CNe) indicate massive white dwarfs that are candidate progenitors of supernovae type Ia. We car…

The first two transient supersoft X-ray sources in M 31 globular clusters and the connection to classical novae
M. Henze, W. Pietsch, F. Haberl +12
Classical novae (CNe) have been found to represent the major class of supersoft X-ray sources (SSS) in our neighbour galaxy M 31. We determine properties and evolution of the two f…
