Nova Muscae 2018 - PNV J11261220-6531086 [V357 Mus]
Active Dates: Jan. 14, 2018 – Jan. 14, 2018
Abstract:
Event: Nova in Musca - Nova Muscae 2018 = PNV J11261220-6531086 Discovered by: Rob Kaufman (Bright, Victoria, Australia) Discovery magnitude: 7.0 V (on four frames, using Canon 650D and 55mm lens) Discovery date: 2018 January 14.4861 UT Coordinates (2000.0): R.A. 11 26 15.16 Decl. -65 31 23.3 Position from VSX; measured by Daniel Bamberger (Marburg, Germany) on frames taken by Robert Fidrich (Bakonycsernye, Hungary). Spectra: Low-resolution spectroscopy indicating that PNV J11261220-6531086 is an FeII-type classical nova was obtained by Rob Kaufman on 2018 January 14.6035 UT.
Justification:
Observations of all types (visual, CCD, DSLR, spectroscopy) and multiple bands (BVI in particular) as instrumentation permits are strongly encouraged as the nova evolves.
