Abstract (from CDS):

We present XMM-Newton observations of the 569-s-period system RX J1914+24 (V407 Vul). This period is believed to represent the binary orbital period making it an ultracompact binary system. By comparing the phase of the rise to maximum X-ray flux at various epochs (this includes observations made using ROSAT, ASCA and Chandra) we find that the system is spinning up at a rate of 3.17±0.07x10–12s/s. We find that the spectra soften as the X-ray flux declines towards the off-phase of the 569-s period. Further, the spectra are best fitted by an absorbed blackbody component together with a broad emission feature around 0.59 keV. This emission feature is most prominent at the peak of the on-phase. We speculate on its origin.

CDS comments: RX J1914+24 = RX J1914.4+2456, RX J0806+15 = RX J0806.3+1527. In Introduction, RX J0806+24 is probably a misprint for RX J0806+15.
