Extract
Supersoft X-ray sources (hereafter SSS) are a class of luminous (bolometric luminosity ~ 1037 − 1038 erg s−1) objects with a characteristic radiation temperature of 30 to 60 eV (Hasinger 1994; Kahabka & Trümper 1996). The most popular model for SSS is that they are massive white dwarfs steadily burning nuclear fuel accreted from a more massive binary companion at a rate near or above the Eddington limit (van den Heuvel et al. 1992).
