| Abstract |
Our Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds contain ˜18 well studied
supersoft x-ray sources (SSSs). None of these sources has ever been
observed in a harder state. Two SSSs in M31 have, however, been observed
in quasisoft and/or hard states. We have used Chandra, XMM-Newton, and
Swift to document these changes. We present the results and discuss
possible models for the sources. |
