Abstract
The evolution of the soft X-ray emission of V1974 Cyg has been simulated by a white dwarf envelope model with steady hydrogen burning. The comparison of the results obtained from ROSAT observations with the results of our envelope models indicates that the post-outburst evolution of the nova can be explained by steady H-burning on either a 0.9  white dwarf with 50% degree of mixing between solar-like accreted material and the ONe degenerate core, or on a 1.0  ONe white dwarf with 25% mixing.

Key words: stars: individual: V1974 Cygni -- stars: novae, cataclysmic variables -- stars: white dwarfs -- X-rays: binaries

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

• If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
• You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
• You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
