[vsnet-chat 597] About confirmation of nova alert

["S. Kiyota" <skiyota@abr.affrc.go.jp>]

I agree comments by Dr.Kato - and other many Vsneters- that early alarm of nova 
is important.

I am a amateur and interested in long-term-monitoring of behavior (light curve) 
 of novae.
I can not observe them without efforts of nova hunters -usually they are also 
amateurs.

In addition, I want to comment about efforts to confirm discovery alerts of 
novae or supernovae by amateurs. 
They can not observe spectra but they try to confirm that a nova or supernovae 
reported is exactly exist or not.
I know that Japanese amateurs - for example, Reiki Kushida and Masakatsu Aoki 
also do good jobs to confirm of discovery alerts of supernovae by requests of 
CBAT, as well as their effort to search new supernovae.
And there are many efforts by amateurs to confirm alerts by ISN or TA e-circular 
around world. 

I think that there are always many efforts to any alerts of discovery of novae 
and supernovae to confirm them. 
Thank you all of them for their efforts to search and confirm of novae and 
supernovae.
