Increasing the sample of SSS grating spectra for novae

Highresolution Xray spectra of novae in the Super Soft Source (SSS) phase areextremely complex since the ejecta are clumpy and asymmetric. Our group hassuccessfully pursued a variety of modelindependent approaches leading toimportant results while being guided by the data rather than by models. We haverecently shown that SSS grating spectra that are dominated by emission lines ontop of continuum (SSe) experience more obscuration than those with pureabsorption line spectra (SSa). Compared to the large diversity of observedphenomena, the current sample size is too limited for more conclusive trendanalyses. The extreme brightness in Xrays of novae during the SSS phase enablesexpansion of the available sample of SSS at low cost. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
