Nova in Ophiuchus - TCP J17394608-2457555
Active Dates: May 8, 2017 – May 11, 2017
Abstract:
Event: Nova in Ophiuchus. Discovered by Koichi Itagaki (Yamagata, Japan). Discovery magnitude: magnitude 13.6 (CCD, unfiltered, using 0.20-m f/3.0 reflector + CCD). Discovery date: 2017 May 08.7511 UT. Coordinates (2000.0): R.A. 17 39 46.10 Decl. -24 57 55.8 (from VSX). Spectra: Spectroscopy indicating that TCP J17394608-2457555 is an FeII nova (highly reddened) was obtained 2017 May 11.15 UT by S. C. Wiliams (Lancaster) and M. J. Darnley (LJMU) (ATel #10366).
Justification:
Observations of all types (visual, CCD, DSLR, spectroscopy) and all bands as instrumentation permits are strongly encouraged as the nova evolves.
