V407 Lup comma a magnetic nova

We propose an XMMNewton observation of V407 Lup, a nova in outburst in 2016,thought to be an intermediate polar, as it settles back into quiescence. Thegoal is to learn about the physics of this special type of novae by measuringthe spectrum and the white dwarf rotation period in the early phase ofinteroutburst magnetic accretion, and possibly by monitoring the finalquenching of thermonuclear burning, which may end at the poles of the magneticwhite dwarf later than on the rest of the accreted envelope. During itseruption, V407 Lup has been the object of a detailed multiwavelength study byour group. We intend to follow up and explore how the magnetic field modulatesthe secular evolution. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
