Hi Nova-people,

 I've just talked to Steve Shore and it turned out theat
the Nova (pending definite confirmation) is not
accessible to IUE (beta angle of 12 deg.). However, according
to the brighnesses communicated by T. Kato, it
could be a candidate for the fastest Nova around (thanks to Steve
Shore for pointing that out). It also could be around UV minimum
(the phase between the fireball and the early wind phase)
and in that case would recover soon. Optical spectra would very
quickly confirm the nature of the object. In case it turns
out to be an interesting nova, I'll put my library of synthetic
nova spectra on our server so that people can perform quick
coarse analyses of the spectra (I'm leaving for an extended
Europe trip on the 11th).

 Following a suggestion by Mark Anderson, I've set up an
archive for all the messages coming through the nova-net.
Currently this in an experimental stage, however, it seems
to work. I will let you know more details as soon as I've
worked them out.

Cheers,

                                        Peter
