Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory studies of supersoft novae
journal contribution
posted on 2019-08-09, 09:29 authored by K. L. Page, A. P. Beardmore, J. P. OsborneThe rapid response capabilities of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, together with the daily planning of its observing schedule, make it an ideal mission for following novae in the X-ray and UV bands, particularly during their early phases of rapid evolution and throughout the supersoft source interval. Many novae, both classical and recurrent, have been extensively monitored by Swift throughout their supersoft phase and later decline. We collect here results from observations of novae with outbursts which occurred between the start of 2006 and the end of 2017.
Funding
These observations would not have been possible without the support of the Swift PI (Neil Gehrels, and now Brad Cenko), together with the Mission and Flight Operations Teams. This work is presented on behalf of the Swift Nova-CV group, co-ordinated by J.P. Osborne, which is open to applications to join from all interested scientists. The Swift project at the University of Leicester is funded by the UK Space Agency.
