Scientific paper

We propose to observe several supersoft X-ray sources (SSS) in the Magellanic Clouds and M31 to (1) test the emission geometry in two short-period binaries, particularly in 1E 0035.4--7230 which seemingly shows X-ray eclipses whereas models suggest that the WD is hidden behind the flared accretion disk, (2) investigate two newly discovered SSS in detail in order to establish their nature, and (3) to investigate the large time variability of ROSAT-detected SSS in order to understand their duty cycle and the mechanism causing these variations.
