0526-70 Nova LMC 2000 in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Abstract:
We have been informed by William Liller, Vina del Mar, Chile, and the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams (IAU Circular 7453) that Liller discovered a nova in the Large Magellanic Cloud on photographic images taken July 12.4098 and 12.4129 UT. Liller estimated the nova to be photovisual magnitude 11.2. The nova was visually confirmed by Rod Stubbings, Drouin, Victoria, Australia, who observed it at visual magnitude approximately 11.8 on July 13.469 UT.
