X-Ray, Novae

Scientific paper

Marina Orio and Thomas Nelson report that the M31 nova 2005-09 c (Quimby et al. 2005, ATel 600, and Hatzidimitriou et al., A&A 464, 1075) is detected as a luminous supersoft X-ray source (SSS) in an archival XMM exposure taken 10 months after the optical maximum of this nova, on 2006-06-28, with a count rate 0.0100±0.0018 cts/s in the 0.15-1 keV range. Despite the poor signal to noise, no significant counts above the background are measured above 0.8 keV and the spectrum is consistent with a blackbody with luminosity 2.5-3 × 10({37) erg/s, blackbody temperature T 60 eV and column density N(H)>=1.3 10(21) cm(-2) .
