Abstract	We propose to continue the monitoring of the M31 core with 5x18.4ks XMM-NewtonEPIC and 5x20ks Chandra HRC-I observations equally distributed from Nov 2011 tomid Feb 2012 to determine additional light curves for short SSS states ofoptical novae. SSS states with <100 d duration indicate accreting massive whitedwarfs (WDs). They are proposed as SN Ia progenitors and determining theirfrequency is very important. We will correlate detected sources with novae fromoptical monitoring. With a nova rate in the field of virgul38/yr and SSS stateslasting from weeks to years we will follow light curves of many novae. Durationsof the nova SSS state will allow us to constrain envelope and white dwarfmasses. We will also monitor time variability of virgul200 M31 X-ray sources (mostly XRBs).

Mission Description	The European Space Agencys (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESAs second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Since Earths atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis.
