[vsnet-alert 7096] Possible Nova in Oph Revised Photometry



Based on color correction made available by the Rc band image the earlier V 
band magnitude estimate of the possible nova in Oph has been revised to the 
following:

1/26/02
V = 9.19 +/- 0.05, 12:39 UT
Rc = 8.67 +/- 0.07, 12.44 UT

Comparison stars:
TYC 6248 1077 1, V = 9.94, B-V = .573, Rc = 9.63
TYC 6248 794 1, V = 9.77, B-V = .166, Rc = 9.68
The Rc magnitudes are derived from the B-V color of the star.  The estimated 
error in Rc relative to V is 0.03 mag.  The check star used was TYC 6248 291 
1, V = 10.43, B-V = 1.00, Rc = 9.88.  MIRA software was used in the reduction 
of the magnitudes.

I forgot to mention this in an earlier e-mail, I compared the image of the 
field to SERC DSS1/ST5c1 plate and the object is not present on the DSS 
plate.

Doug West
