Abstract
We report the end of the supersoft X-ray source (SSS) phase following the recent outburst of the remarkable recurrent nova M31N 2008-12a (ATel #6527). We first detected X-ray emission from this outburst on 2014-10-08.29 UT (ATel #6558) and confirmed the SSS nature of the source in ATel #6565.
