A luminous Be+ white dwarf supersoft source in the wing of the SMC: MAXI J0158-744

We present a multi-wavelength analysis of the very fast X-ray transient MAXI J0158-744, which was detected by MAXI/GSC on 2011 November 11. The subsequent exponential decline of the X-ray flux was followed with Swift observations, all of which revealed spectra with low temperatures (~100 eV), indica...
