Outburst of the recurrent nova V745 Sco
Active Dates: Feb. 6, 2014 – Feb. 7, 2014
Abstract:
Outbursts of recurrent novae are relatively rare events. Each outburst is an opportunity to add to the study of the relationship between recurrent novae and the progenitors of Type-Ia supernovae, so the most complete coverage possible is important.
Justification:
This recurrent nova is fading quickly. Follow-up observations of all types (visual, CCD, DSLR) are strongly encouraged, as is spectroscopy. V745 Sco is currently a pre-dawn object, posing an additional challenge. AAVSO Nova Section advisor Dr. Jeno Sokoloski (Columbia University) has requested as much photometry and spectroscopy as possible. Professional researchers are planning multiwavelength observations for V745 Sco, and your observations will be extremely important for correlation of these multiwavelength data.
