Merged unbinned image of the region around the reported position of S And created from 45 Chandra HRC-I data sets. One pixel corresponds to 0.13 arcsec. The red circle indicates the source region (r = 0.83 arcsec) and the green annulus the background region (r_inner ≈ 1.7 arcsec, r_outer ≈ 5.0 arcsec) used to calculate the X-ray source flux in the 0.1–10 keV band. The dark green cross marks the position of the X- ray source reported by Kaaret (2002) identified as an optical nova and was excluded from the background region.
