Why observe Nearby GalaxiesWhy observe Nearby Galaxies
• Nearby examples of early and late types of galaxies
• “Same” distance to all sources in a galaxy • Different source classes resolved• Better understanding of population of the
Milky Way• Understanding of unresolved emission from
distant galaxies

Introduction: X-ray sources in nearby Introduction: X-ray sources in nearby galaxy fieldsgalaxy fields
– Sources within galaxy (all approximately at same distance)• X-ray binaries (XRBs)
– Low mass XRBs (?dips with orbital period, bursts, ...) – High mass XRBs (?eclipses with orb. period, pulsations, optical id,...)– Bright transients
• Supersoft X-ray sources– Classical SSS as known from Magellanic Clouds– Optical novae (dominant class of SSS in M 31)
• Supernova remnants– Thermal remnants– Plerions (PWN)
• Nuclear source • Ultraluminous X-ray sources• Diffuse emission in disk and halo
– Foreground stars– Galaxies, galaxy clusters and AGN in background

Summary optical novaeSummary optical novae• 30 to 50 optical novae per year in M 31 (~half in bulge area)• Novae established as major class of SSS in M 31 center• Monitoring of bulge area gives light curves of many novae simultaneously inone
XMM-Newton/Chandra field (Galactic novae can only be monitored one by one, i.e. is much less efficient)
• Spectra can be modeled by BB spectra (T <70 eV)• Novae as SSS best detectable with XMM-Newton EPIC pn, Chandra HRC I and
ACIS S• SSS state of novae may start within 50 days after optical outburst • X-ray outburst may last only 2-3 months, but three of the novae still bright nine
years after optical outburst (similar to GQ Mus and Nova LMC 1995)• several novae missed in optical and X-ray searches• Number of X-ray detected optical novae much higher than previously estimated
(>30%)• X-ray light curves give estimates for ejected hydrogen mass for optical novae as
well as burned mass and mass of White Dwarf by comparing with models, that include chemical composition
??? Recurrent novae precursor of type Ia supernovae ???

SummarySummary• XMM-Newton observations of M 31 and M 33 revealed
many exciting results• Demonstrated that X-ray sources in Local Group galaxies
can be well classified• Important: long (>50 ks) uninterrupted observations per
field• Separation of different source populations by hardness
ratios and time variability very efficient• SSS observations of optical novae demonstrate that
specific source classes can be more homogeneously investigated in galaxies outside Milky Way
• Wealth of sources with good positions (including Chandra source catalogues) for follow-up in other wavelength regimes (HMXBs, SNRs, SSS, transients versus foreground stars and sources in background)

What XMM-Newton should do What XMM-Newton should do next in Nearby Galaxy fieldnext in Nearby Galaxy field
• Survey full area of SMC (see Frank Haberl’s talk)• Survey systematically large part of LMC• Deeper observations of M 33 (>100 ks exposures)
