Scientific paper

Three EXOSAT observations of Nova Muscae 1983, 3 observations of Nova Vulpeculae 1984-1 (PW Vul), and observations of Nova Vulpeculae 1984-2 were analyzed. The soft X-ray light curve of classical novae was sampled from optical maximum to 900 days after. The observations seem best explained by the constant bolometric luminosity model of a hot white dwarf remnant. Although the measurements suffer from limited statistics, very broad energy bandpass, and incomplete sampling of any single nova, their constraints on the theories of nova outburst are significant.
