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

## Abstract To investigate the transient nature of supersoft sources (SSSs) in M 31, we compared SSS candidates ofthe XMMβNewton Deep Survey, ROSAT PSPC surveys and the Chandra catalogues in the same field. We found 40 SSSs in the XMMβNewton observations. While 12 of the XMMβNewton sources were bri
## Abstract First studies of the Xβray source population of M 31 were performed with the Einstein Observatory and ROSAT. High resolution Chandra Observatory images not only spatially resolved the center area but also supernova remnants (SNRs) in the galaxy. Source catalogues of restricted areas wer
