| Abstract |
We present the results of a search for UV and optical counterparts of
the SSS population in M 31. We find that out of the 56 sources we
included in our search, 16 are associated with regions of ongoing or
recent star formation. We discuss two particularly interesting sources
that are identified optically as early type stars, one of which
displayed long term X-ray evolution similar to that observed in
classical novae. We discuss the physical origin of supersoft X-rays in
these and the other SSS in young regions, and their possible link to the
so-called ``prompt" component of the Type Ia supernova population. |
