Scientific paper

We propose to obtain spectrophotometry with the ACIS-FI instrument, plus contemporaneous ground based optical and infrared spectra, of bright novae in outburst. Previous studies with X-ray satellites have shown that they are the best tool for studying the hot phases of the nova outburst. In these observations, both soft and hard emission components were found. Observations of the soft component will provide a unique opportunity to study the composition of the ejecta, the lifetime of the outburst, and the evolution of the white dwarf. The hard component is, as yet, unexplained and further observations are urgently needed to understand its cause and behavior which will improve our understanding of the evolution of the ejecta. We will obtain observations of both components when possible.
