Abstract

The workshop “Supersoft X‐ray Sources – New Developments” brought together observers and theoretician to discuss the present status and unsolved problems of supersoft source research. A large part of the workshop was devoted to optical novae and their supersoft state. Large samples of supersoft X‐ray sources were presented from nearby galaxies, as well as extensive monitoring campaigns ofbright individual sources. The theoretical modelling oflight curves and high‐resolution X‐ray spectra are well underway, but details are often not yet understood (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

## Abstract I review various phenomena associated with mass‐accreting white dwarfs (WDs) in the view of supersoft X‐ray sources. When the mass‐accretion rate is low (__Ṁ__~acc~ < a few × 10^–7^ M⊙yr^–1^), hydrogen nuclear burning is unstable and nova outbursts occur. A nova is a transient supersoft

## Abstract In the last decade, X‐ray observations of hot stellar objects became available with unprecedented resolution and S/N ratio. For an adequate interpretation, fully metal‐line blanketed Non‐LTE model‐atmospheres are necessary. The Tübingen Non‐LTE Model Atmosphere Package (TMAP) can calcul

## Abstract Classical novae (CNe) have recently been reported to represent the major class of supersoft X‐ray sources (SSSs) in the central area of our neighbouring galaxy M 31. This paper presents a review of results from recent X‐ray observations of M 31 with XMM‐Newton and Chandra. We carried ou

## Abstract Supersoft X‐ray sources have been proposed as one of the major channels to produce Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). However, the true nature of the progenitors has remained an unsolved problem. In this review I summarize the present status of our understanding of SN Ia progenitors, the main
