Nova in Ophiuchus: N Oph 2024 = V4370 Oph = TCP J17395720-2627410
Active Dates: March 10, 2024 – March 13, 2026
Abstract:
This campaign focuses on the nova in Ophiuchus, specifically N Oph 2024 (V4370 Oph, TCP J17395720-2627410), discovered by multiple astronomers. Observations of all types (visual, CCD/CMOS, DSLR, spectroscopy) and in multiple bands are requested to follow its evolution. The object is identified as a highly reddened He/N-class nova.
Justification:
Observations of all types are needed to track the nova's behavior and evolution after its discovery. Frequent photometric and spectroscopic observations are recommended due to the rate of decline and ongoing changes in emission.
Requested Data Types:
