[vsnet-alert 5560] Possible nova in Puppis: V445 Pup

[Gianluca Masi <gianmasi@fr.flashnet.it>]

Dear Colleagues,
here is a recent magnitude estimate for this nova candidate

PUPV445   20010114.96424  8.82Rc  MAS

This notation means:

Nova Pup(?): 14.96424 Jan 2001 (UT), mag. 8.82 R (unfiltered). Reference
magnitudes: R mags from A. Henden file [vsnet-chat 3930]; I used as references the USNO
A0600.06944827 (R=9.91) and A0600.06936746  (R=8.46).

Using the same reference stars, I remeasured my 06 Jan. image getting the following:

PUPV445   20010106.98803  8.55Rc  MAS

that is:
Nova Pup(?): 06.98803 Jan 2001 (UT), mag. 8.55 R (unfiltered).


So, the star faded of about 0.27 mag in 8 days.


Regards,
Gianluca Masi
