Image Details
Caption: Figure 1.
Left: Liverpool Telescope Hα continuum subtracted image showing the extended region around M31N 2017-01e. The image is approximately ﹩{5}^{{\prime} }\times {5}^{{\prime} }﹩. The position of M31N 2017-01e is indicated by the small red circle at the center. The larger dashed red circle indicates the outer extent of the region over which the radial flux profile was computed. Right: the Hα radial flux profile around M31N 2017-01e (red line; this work), compared to the previous measurement (blue line; M. W. Healy-Kalesh et al. 2024b), the radial profile of the M31N 2008-12a nova super-remnant (orange line; M. W. Healy-Kalesh et al. 2024b), and the peak Hα surface brightnesses of the LMCN 1971-08a and KT Eri NSRs (purple line; the black horizontal line just below indicates zero excess flux).
