Chandra Proposal Id #09300509

Scientific paper

We request two 25 ks HRC-S+LETG observations for each of two slow, dust-forming, carbon-oxygen Classical Novae: V2362 Cyg and V1280 Sco. This will be the first time that this class of novae has been observed in X-rays. This is a Target-of-Opportunity proposal and we will use SWIFT to confirm that each nova is sufficiently bright for a grating spectrum before triggering our Chandra observations. Since the XRT instrument on SWIFT has roughly the same spectral resolution and effective area as ACIS-S on Chandra, the improved spectral resolution of the Chandra gratings is the justification for our observations. We will obtain monitoring observations with SWIFT, with Spitzer, Gemini, and other ground based telescopes.
