   Thank nova has shown a remarkable ejection velocity.  So it's truly an
exploding event, rather than a dwarf nova.  But the many peculiarities
remain to be explained (the peculiar light curve, possible association
with the ROSAT source).  Is your observatory able to obtain time-series
photometry as Dr. Retter sugested?
