1 X-ray Studies of Classical Novae & Super Soft Sources (SSS) Jan-Uwe Ness Chandra Fellow at
2
3 outburst Nuclear burning ignites WD Accreted material: H-rich!
4 Radiatively driven expansion Nuclear burning Pseudo Stellar Atmosphere equivalent to a stellar radiation zone WD Photosphere brightest in optical -> discovery
5 Nuclear burning Pseudo Stellar Atmosphere WD Photosphere begins to fade in optical spectrum shifts to higher energies
6 Nuclear burning Pseudo Stellar Atmosphere WD Photosphere while Photosphere recedes to smaller radii the spectrum shifts to increasingly high energies...
7 Nuclear burning Pseudo Stellar Atmosphere Super-Soft-Source X-ray spectrum WD SSS phase Photosphere... until the peak of the spectrum reaches soft X-rays --> direct observations of nuclear burning
8 L bol =10 38 erg/sec optical UV X-ray
9 Shock with stellar wind SSS Emission from hot white dwarf + giant in Symbiotic Novae (e.g., RS Oph) + MS star in Classical Novae (e.g., V4743 Sgr) shocks within the ejecta?
10 Swift observations of RS Oph Osborne et al. (2008) shock phase SSS phase nebular phase
11 Swift observations of RS Oph Osborne et al. (2008) shock phase SSS phase nebular phase optical
12 Swift observations of RS Oph Chandra/XMM XMM-Newton Chandra XMM-Newton Chandra Osborne et al. (2008) Chandra shock phase SSS phase nebular phase

14 RS Oph: 13.8 days after outburst H-like ions He-like ions other lines (FeXVII - FeXXV) simultaneous Chandra and XMM spectra
15 f G T
16 f G T
17 N high => CNO-cycled material solar twice solar ten times solar
18 RS Oph secondary has [N/Fe]=0.9: (Pavlenko et al. 2008) => 20-40% of N from outburst
19 Sample of M giants by Smith & Lambert (1985/86) RS Oph secondary has [N/Fe]=0.9: (Pavlenko et al. 2008) => 20-40% of N from outburst
20 Sample of M giants by Rich et al. (2007)
21 RS Oph: 13.8 days after outburst H-like ions He-like ions other lines (FeXVII - FeXXV) simultaneous Chandra and XMM spectra
22 1 month later: from White Dwarf SSS spectrum
23 blackbody fits Ness et al. (2007)
24 NVII edge solar abundances OVII edge
25 Ness et al. (2007)
26 Lines are significantly shifted and broadened => considerable expansion velocity of >1000 km per second but models are static. Expansion may wash out the absorption edges and needs to be taken into account.
27 Some other novae:
28 Chandra LETGS Light Curves of V4743 Sgr (Sept. 2002) sudden decay!
29 Ness et al ApJ 594, L127 NVI NVII
30 Development of faint phase NVI NVII SiXII or ArXIV (?) SiXII (?) CVI SXIII CV SiXI (?) CVI SXII/XIII
31
32 Dynamic atmosphere model by Petz et al. (2005)
33 X-rays: 12 years after outburst! Ness et al. (2008, AJ 134, 1328)
34 Swift observations of V723 Cas (1995) Ness et al. (2008) AJ 135, 1328 T BB =300,000K => too hot for anything other than nuclear burning
35
36
37 The permanent SSS Cal 83 (in LMC) static atmospheres by Lanz et al. (2005)
38 Steady burning in permanent SSS Accreted material is nuclearly processed at the accretion rate no buildup of hydrogen -> no explosion -> can go on for ever until Chandrasekhar mass limit is reached Possible Supernova Ia progenitors
39 The SSS Cal 83 (in LMC) on and off states
40 Summary - While the concept of nova evolution is relatively simple, we have witnessed some puzzling behaviours - The SSS phase is the brightest phase but is most difficult to model - For novae we need expanding atmosphere models, while static models can explain SSS like Cal83
41 Concluding remarks - In order to understand the various phenomena, systematic X-ray observations have to be taken - Multiwavelength studies are needed to interpret the information of each waveband in a broader context - High-resolution X-ray spectra are the only way to determine abundances
42 More will be covered on Friday in session C.2 with Talks by Orio, Hernanz, Adamczak, Terada, Ishida Other recent novae: V5116 Sgr (Sala et al. 2008, poster C.4) V458 Vul (Poster C.7 by D. Takei et al.) V382 Vel (Orio et al, 2001ab, Ness et al. 2005) V2362 Cyg (Lynch et al. subm.: Rebrightning!) V2491 Cyg (brand new XMM observation last week) Swift is presently obtaining similar light curve as that for RS Oph and has observed many novae (see sample by Ness et al. 2007)
43 too faint for X-ray gratings :-( rebrightning!

45 Really bright novae are rare and only three of them were observed with X-ray gratings => Our community is hoping for a long life time of XMM-Newton and Chandra!
