Chandra observations reveal a rich absorption line system in the supersoft X-ray spectrum of V339 Del (Nova Del 2013)
Abstract
Following the report of the emergence of a bright supersoft X-ray source in V339 Del (see ATEL #5505), we obtained a high resolution X-ray spectrum of the nova with the LETG/HRC-S instrument on board the Chandra observatory starting on 2013 November 09.75 (88 days after discovery). The observation had a net exposure time of 46 ks, during which the source was detected in the 22--44 Angstrom range with a mean count rate of 21 (24) cts/s in the +1 (-1) order light.
