[vsnet-chat 5294] Re: Nova Oph 2002

[Seiichi Yoshida <comet@aerith.net>]

Dear colleagues,

Arne Henden and Doug West, thank you for your information about AAVSO
site. I had not known the Light Curve Generator. That is useful and I
added the URL to my bookmark.

Jaime Garcķa, thank you for your another light curve page.

Taichi Kato, thank you for your IBVS paper. Hmm, now I see that V2540
Oph is a rare nova.

And I found that my first three observations on Feb. 22 and Mar. 8 and
9 were just at the peaks by chance. Then I observed it at bottom on
Mar. 19, and my last observation on Apr. 5 when it is at the peak
again.

Now that the VSNET server is not available, and I did not about the
AAVSO Ligth Curve Generator, I had no way to know others
observations. So I was very very surprised at the rebrightening. Now I
see that is due to the oscillation, and I could not notice it because
my observations are sparse.

P.S.
Taichi Kato's paper is in astro-ph. Does it mean that it is not
accepted by IBVS yet? Or, it is already accepted but not yet issued?

Best regards,
