[vsnet-alert 6451] N Cyg 2001 #2: plateu?!

["Giovanni Sostero" <giovanni.sostero@elettra.trieste.it>]

Sirs,
please enclosed find further photometry of Nova Cyg 2002 #2
obtained on Aug 26.80 with the 0.3m + CCD Baker camera
at the Remanzacco Observatory (Udine, Italy). The photometry
is on the Johnson-Cousin system and the external accuracy
is estimated at +/- 0.05 mag in each filter.

We notice that the nova has changed the decline speed, and
now is experiencing almost a plateu-like trend in its
lightcurve.

Kindest regards
Giovanni Sostero and Antonio Lepardo
