Pre-discovery detection of the nova candidate M33N 2010-07a in XMM-Newton OM observations
Abstract
Nishiyama and Kabashima discovered the nova candidate M33N 2010-07a on unfiltered images taken around 2010-07-17.798 UT (see CBET #2375). No source was present in their images taken on 2010-03-18.44 UT, in their earlier images and other deep optical images. The "Deep XMM-Newton Legacy survey of M 33" (PI Williams) will cover the entire D25 isophote of the galaxy with a total of seven contiguous 100 ks exposures.
