Scientific paper

We propose to observe V838 Mon, a bright symbiotic star which underwent a nova like outburst in January of 2002. Symbiotic novae are X-ray sources and the properties of their X-ray emission indicate how the mass ejection occurs, and whether the hot white dwarf remnant grows in mass towards the Chandrasekhar mass and a type Ia SN outburst. Symbiotic nova outburst are observed only every few years. The last bright outburst of this type was observed in 1944, so this is an opportunity that should not be missed. Following a short ACIS-S observation, we propose two grating observations if the source is sufficiently bright.
