0105      Nova Cassiopeiae 1995 - Photometry Update No. 8 (1995/12/06)
0110      ============================================================
0115
0120      Type: NB?    Magnitude: 8.4 [mv] - 18 [R]    Spectrum: Pec(N)
0125
0130  This nova was discovered by Minoru Yamamoto (Okazaki, Aichi, Japan)
0135  on exposures from Aug. 24, 1995 [IAUC 6213]. Robert Argyle, Royal
0140  Greenwich Observatory, England, has reported the following accurate
0145  position (equinox J2000.0, FK5 reference frame, epoch 1995.69):
0150    
0155  R.A. = 01h 05m 05s.353  Decl. = +54d 00' 40".12  [IAUC 6233]
0160              +/- 0s.004                +/- 0".07
0165
0170  This position is based on 10 observations with the Carlsberg
0175  Automatic Meridian Circle on La Palma by C. Fabricius and M. Vallejo.
0180  The corresponding position for equinox B1950.0 is RA = 01h 02m 07s,
0185  Decl. = +53d 44'.6.

0200  Spectrograms by O. Ohshima et al. (Bisei Astronomical Observatory,
0205  Okayama, Japan), T. Iijima and L. Rosino (Asiago Astrophysical Obser-
0210  vatory, Italy), and M. Della Valle (University of Padova, Italy) and
0215  W. Marchiotto and G. Lercher (University of Innsbruck, Austria) con-
0220  firm that this object is a nova. The spectra showed a blue continuum
0225  and narrow emission lines from H I (H-alpha, H-beta) and Fe II with
0230  P-Cygni-type absorption profiles. The widths of the H I lines indi-
0235  cated slow expansion velocities of a few hundred km/s [IAUC 6215].
0240  According to U. Munari et al. the velocities later slowed down to
0245  less than 100 km/s [IAUC 6259].
0250
0255  There have been discussions on VSNET concerning the classification
0260  of Nova Cas 1995, whether it is a classical or a symbiotic nova.
0265  nova. According to the Italian astronomer Ulisse Munari (Asiago
0270  Observatory, Padua) it is of the latter type. His conclusion is based
0275  on the nova's photometric and spectroscopic behaviour until early
0280  November, 1995. On the other hand, the German nova researcher Hilmar
0285  Duerbeck (University of Muenster) classifies it as a slow classical
0290  nova on its pre-maximum phase.

3240  The V-magnitudes were obtained from Mean UBV Catalogue [ref. MUBV],
3250  measurements by Skiff [SK] (see below), Hipparcos Input Catalogue
3260  [HIC], Carlsberg Meridian Catalogue [CMC], and measurements by
3270  Goranskij and Shugarov [SG] (see below). These magnitudes should be
3280  accurate to within 0.01-0.03 magnitudes for all references except
3290  CMC, where the accuracy is around 0.05 mag. Positions and spectral
3300  types were taken from HIC, CMC. PPM Star Catalogue, and Guide Star
3310  catalogue (GSC). Star numbers are from SAO Star Catalog (SAO), Henry
3320  Draper Catalogue (HD), Bonner Durchmusterung (BD), and GSC. The
3330  comparison star identifications are from The Astronomer Electronic
3340  Circular No. 1021 (letters) and NAS.VSS (numbers). The AAVSO numbers
3350  are magnitudes to the nearest 0.1 mag. without the decimal point.
3360  These magnitudes are used on the revised AAVSO (b) scale chart, that
3370  accompanied AAVSO Alert No. 214.

4870  Compiler's note: Two stars were labelled as no. 2 on the ascii chart
4880  in their original report. The star located SW of the nova (near
4890  lower right corner) is apparently star no. 3.
4900
4910  Star no. 4 from the above list by Goranskij and Shugarov (revised
4920  magnitudes V=9.599; B=9.715; W=9.361; R=9.452) was a comparison star
4930  for the WBVR-measurements of Nova Cas 1995 by Goranskij, Karitskaya
4940  and Kusakin.

6040  The files are ncas95c1.gif and ncas95c2.gif. The second file contains
6050  the V-mag. sequence by B. Skiff.
6060  
6070  Preliminary AAVSO (b) and (d) charts in file formats GIF, PostScript
6080  TIFF, may be obtained from the AAVSO ftp site at ftp.aavso.org
6090  (198.116.78.2), in /pub/alert213. Please note that these charts uses
6100  magnitudes of nearby comparison stars from Guide Star Catalogue. It
6110  should be noted that the GSC magnitudes may be in error by 0.5 magni-
6120  tudes or more.
6130
6140  A revised version of the AAVSO (b) chart is, however, available at
6150  AAVSO's ftp site in /pub/alert214. This chart contains V-magnitudes
6160  (rounded to 0.1 mag.) from HIC and B. Skiff's measurements. The chart
6170  files are rather large as the charts have been rescanned in order to
6180  obtain better resolution and clarity. One may also contact AAVSO on

6500                      +++++ Light curves +++++
6510
6520  A light curve for Nova Cas 1995 based on individual observations sent
6530  to AAVSO until early October, 1995 are found at AAVSO's ftp site in
6540  directory /pub/alert214.
6550
6560  Based on 937 estimates from The Astronomer/BAA database, Guy Hurst,
6570  editor of The Astronomer magazine, has prepared a revised light curve
6580  for this nova. It was updated on 1995 November 27 and is available at
6590  the following URL address:
6600    http://vsnet.demon.co.uk/astronomer/images/ncas95_lightcurve.gif
6610
6620  Stig Linander has prepared a weighted light curve for Nova Cas 1995.
6630  The following "weighting" algorithm has been used:
6640
6650  The time axis is divided into intervals of 0.1 days. For each interval
6660  For each interval:
6670    If there is at least one observation in "this" interval:
6680    Set a dot, calculated from observations in "this" interval and
6690    the neighbouring intervals.
6700    Observations in "this" interval are weighted by a factor of 1,
6710    observations "this +/- 0.1 day" are weighted by a factor of 5/8,
6720    observations "this +/- 0.2 day" are weighted by a factor of 3/8,
6730    observations "this +/- 0.3 day" are weighted by a factor of 2/8,
6740    observations "this +/- 0.4 day" are weighted by a factor of 1/8.
6750
6760  If there are three or more contiguous intervals without observations,
6770  the dots are connected by thin lines (3 * 0.1 day ~ 8 hours),
6780  otherwise by "thick" lines.
6790
6800  This is a somewhat empirical algorithm and was the result of some
6810  experimentation in January 1994 to get a "nice-looking" light curve
6820  for Nova Cas 1993.
6830
6840  This light curve can be obtained by anonymous ftp at VSOLJ's site at
6850  ftp.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp in directory /pub/vsnet/Novae/nova_cas95,
6860  or at medusa.uio.no in directory /pub/bgranslo/variable/n1995cas.
