Abstract | We propose an XMM-Newton observation of V407 Lup, a nova in outburst in 2016,thought to be an intermediate polar, as it settles back into quiescence. Thegoal is to learn about the physics of this special type of novae by measuringthe spectrum and the white dwarf rotation period in the early phase ofinter-outburst magnetic accretion, and possibly by monitoring the finalquenching of thermonuclear burning, which may end at the poles of the magneticwhite dwarf later than on the rest of the accreted envelope. During itseruption, V407 Lup has been the object of a detailed multiwavelength study byour group. We intend to follow up and explore how the magnetic field modulatesthe secular evolution. |

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. |
