| Abstract | NuSTAR observations of the recent classical nova V1674 Her will test andconnect theories of intermediate polars (white dwarfs accreting througha disrupted disk and a magnetic stream) and of nova outbursts. The highenergy spectrum and the X-ray luminosity at quiescence allow to estimate thewhite dwarf mass, the accretion rate, and the accretion disk and columnparameters. Measuring the dependence of the spin period amplitude onenergy range will constrain the absorption effects, and the geometry ofthe accretion columns. A coordinated XMM-Newton exposure will measureabsorption and complete the physical picture with the spectrum and thetiming of the residual soft emission from the polar caps. |

| 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. |
