Abstract
We report the serendipitous detection of an M 31 nova in recent Swift X-ray telescope (XRT) data. Nova M31N 2013-11e (also designated PNV J00443928+4153491) was initially discovered in the optical by Koichi Itagaki on 2013 Nov 29.3778 UT (see the CBAT "Transient Objects Confirmation Page" entry <a href=http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J00443928+4153491.html>here</a>). Its coordinates were given as RA = 00:44:39.28, Dec = +41:53:49.1 (J2000).
