Re: [vsnet-chat 2241] PU Vul  - Re:

   I have skipped the question.

> What is NC(+E?) ?

   The type "NC" represents the GCVS classification.  The type "NC" is
assigned for "very slow novae".  If someone consults the GCVS and its
type explanation, it's not surprising he/she becomes convinced that PU Vul
is a nova.

   +E represents the eclipsing nature.  The deep fading in PU Vul is
considered (though there have been other explanations) as an eclipse.

   But, if "NC" type objects are indeed novae, a question arises who made
the "nova discovery" of V1413 Aql?
