We detect X-ray emission from the progenitor binary star with properties that resemble those of underluminous intermediate polars such as DQ Her: an X-ray-emitting plasma with temperature of $T_\\mathrm{X}=(6.4\\pm3.1)\\times10^{6}$ K, a non-thermal X-ray component, and an estimated X-ray luminosity of $L_\\mathrm{X}=10^{30}$ erg s$^{-1}$. Time series analyses unveil the presence of two periods, the dominant with a period of $2.9\\pm0.2$ hr, which might be attributed to the spin of the white dwarf, and a secondary of $4.5\\pm0.6$ hr that is in line with the orbital period of the binary system derived from optical observations. We do not detect extended X-ray emission as in other nova shells probably due to its relatively old age (130-170 yr) or to its asymmetric disrupted morphology which is suggestive of explosion scenarios different to the symmetric ones assumed in available numerical simulations of nova explosions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-01-27T15:14:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "x-ray observations", "xmm-newton european photon imaging camera", "nova shell iphasx j210204", "time series analyses unveil", "detect x-ray emission" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
