摘要:

经典新星(CNe)是我们的邻居星系M31中超软X射线源(SSS)的主要类型。我们确定了在M 31球状星团(GC)系统中首次发现的两个SSS的性质和演化。我们用XMM-牛顿、钱德拉和斯威夫特对M 31中心区的观测发现了SSS,并测定了它们的X射线光变曲线和光谱。利用黑体和NLTE白矮星(WD)大气模型对Bol 111(SS 1)源的XMM-Newton EPIC PN谱进行了详细的分析。对于Bol 194(SS 2)中的SSS,我们使用光学监测数据来搜索光学对应物。两种GC X射线源均归类为SSS。我们将SS 1与最近在M 31 GC Bol 111中发现的CN M31 N 2007- 06 b相鉴别。对于SS 2,我们没有发现最近新星爆发的证据,只能对假设的新星爆发的时间提供有用的限制。在M31 GC中唯一已知的CN可以通过在M31 GC中发现的第一个SSS来识别。讨论了我们的观测结果对M31 GC系统新星速率的影响.

英文摘要:

Classical novae (CNe) have been found to represent the major class of supersoft X-ray sources (SSS) in our neighbour galaxy M 31. We determine properties and evolution of the two first SSSs ever discovered in the M 31 globular cluster (GC) system. We have used XMM-Newton, Chandra and Swift observations of the centre region of M 31 to discover both SSS and to determine their X-ray light curves and spectra. We performed detailed analysis of XMM-Newton EPIC PN spectra of the source in Bol 111 (SS1) using blackbody and NLTE white dwarf (WD) atmosphere models. For the SSS in Bol 194 (SS2) we used optical monitoring data to search for an optical counterpart. Both GC X-ray sources were classified as SSS. We identify SS1 with the CN M31N 2007-06b recently discovered in the M 31 GC Bol 111. For SS2 we did not find evidence for a recent nova outburst and can only provide useful constraints on the time of the outburst of a hypothetical nova. The only known CN in a M 31 GC can be identified with the first SSS found in a M31 GC. We discuss the impact of our observations on the nova rate for the M 31 GC system.
