RT Cru monitoring requested in support of XMM and NuStar observations
Abstract:
Monitoring the symbiotic nova RT Cru to support XMM and NuStar observations, focusing on BVRI photometry to map the orbit and obtain high time resolution photometry.
Justification:
RT Cru is decaying from a recent maximum near periastron, with enhanced accretion onto the white dwarf. High time resolution photometry and BVRI photometry through the end of February are needed to support XMM and NuStar observations.
