Abstract

X-ray;Novae;Transients
We report a discovery of supersoft X-ray emission from the classical nova M31N 2007-12b (ATel #1324, #1332) with Swift. On 2008 Jan 13 17:49UT, Swift performed a 4ks follow-up observation of the supersoft X-ray source (SSS) in the M31 globular cluster Bol 194 (ATel #1334). While the SSS in Bol 194 was not detected with a 95% upper limit of 2.8e36 erg/s (0.3-1 keV), a new X-ray source was found in the field.
