摘要
We present the Suzaku XIS observation of V2491 Cyg (Nova Cyg 2008 No. 2) obtained in quiescence, more than two years after the outburst. The nova was detected as a very luminous source in a wide spectral range from soft to hard X-rays. A very soft blackbody-like component peaking at 0.5 keV indicates that we observe either remaining, localized hydrogen burning on the surface of the white dwarf, or accretion onto a magnetized polar cap. In the second case, V2491 Cyg is a candidate "soft intermediate polar." We obtained the best fit for the X-ray spectra with several components: two of thermal plasma, a blackbody and a complex absorber. The latter is typical of intermediate polars. The X-ray light curve shows a modulation with a period of similar to 38 minutes. The amplitude of this modulation is strongly energy-dependent and reaches a maximum in the range 0.8-2.0 keV. We discuss the origin of the X-ray emission and pulsations, and the likelihood of the intermediate polar scenario.
