Bright nova in Carina - ASASSN-18fv

Active Dates: March 20, 2018 – March 21, 2018


Abstract:

Nova in Carina discovered by the All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN). Discovery magnitude: brighter than magnitude 10 V. Spectroscopy indicates a classical nova brightening and in the optically thick (Fe curtain) phase.

Justification:

Observations of all types (visual, CCD, DSLR, PEP, spectroscopy) and multiple bands as instrumentation permits are strongly encouraged as the nova evolves.
