Additional information
First author Osborne wrote almost the whole paper. He obtained the substantial satellite observing time, drove the data analysis, and designed the figures. Only Section 5 was partly authored by Osborne. Beardmore discovered the 35 sec period. Light curves and spectral fits were made by Page under Osborne’s direction. This is the first paper to present high cadence X-ray observations of a recurrent nova outburst. RS Oph has a white dwarf near the Chandrasekhar limit, and is a candidate SN1a progenitor. The progenitors of these supernovae, which define the acceleration of the Universe driven by ‘Dark Energy’, are currently unidentified.
