Alert Notice 335: Recurrent nova 1744-06 RS Ophiuchi in outburst AND W Vir monitoring window extended to mid-April
Abstract:
Monitoring of the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi, which is in outburst, and extension of the W Vir monitoring window to mid-April due to poor weather conditions.
Justification:
The recurrent nova RS Oph is in outburst with visual magnitude 4.8, last recorded significant outburst was in January 1985. Detailed analysis of this nova's behavior is valuable. Extending W Vir's monitoring due to weather conditions aligns with obtaining comprehensive observation data.
