Supersoft X-ray sources are stellar objects that emit X-rays with temperatures of about 1 million kelvin and luminosities well in excess of what can be produced by stellar coronae. It has generally been presumed that the objects in this class are binary star systems in which mass transfer leads to nuclear fusion on the surface of a white dwarf
