Alert Notice 612: Nova Sco 2018 - PNV J17180658-3204279
Active Dates: Jan. 17, 2018 – Jan. 31, 2018
Abstract:
Event: Nova in Scorpius - Nova Sco 2018 = PNV J17180658-3204279 Discovered by: Hideo Nishimura (Kakegawa, Shizuoka-ken, Japan), reported by S. Nakano (Sumoto, Japan) Discovery magnitude: unfiltered CCD magnitude 11.0 (three 10-second images using DSLR with 200-mm f/3.2 lens) Discovery date: 2018 January 17.869 UT Coordinates (2000.0): R.A. 17 18 06.37 Decl. -32 04 27.7 (from VSX) Spectra: Spectroscopy indicating that PNV J17180658-3204279 is a classical Fe II-type nova was obtained on 2018 on January 21.36 UT by J. Strader et al. (Michigan State), using the 4.1-m Southern Astrophysical Research Telscope (+ Goodman spectrograph) at Cerro Pachon, Chile (ATel #11209; reported in CBET 4481).
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.
