[vsnet 544] Nova Cas 1995 photometry update no. 12 (diff.)



0100
0110      Nova Cassiopeiae 1995 - Photometry Update No. 12 (1996/02/20)
0120      =============================================================
0130
0140      Type: NB?   Magnitude: 7.1 [V] - 18 [R]    Spectrum: Pec(N)
0150
0160  This nova was discovered by Minoru Yamamoto (Okazaki, Aichi, Japan)
0170  on exposures from Aug. 24, 1995 [IAUC 6213]. Robert Argyle, Royal
0180  Greenwich Observatory, England, has reported the following accurate
0190  position (equinox J2000.0, FK5 reference frame, epoch 1995.69):
0200
0210  R.A. = 01h 05m 05s.353  Decl. = +54d 00' 40".12  [IAUC 6233]
0220              +/- 0s.004                +/- 0".07
0230
0240  It is based on 10 observations with the Carlsberg Automatic Meridian
0250  Circle on La Palma by C. Fabricius and M. Vallejo. The corresponding
0260  position for equinox B1950.0 is RA = 01h 02m 07s, Decl. = +53d 44'.6.
0690
0700  This nova underwent a major brightening in mid-December 1995, and
0710  at maximum it reached a visual magnitude near mv = 7.0. Thereafter it
0720  has faded quite rapidly to mv = 8.5, which was followed by a slower
0730  fade to around mv = 9.5, i.e. slightly fainter that at discovery.
0740  Another outburst took place in mid-February 1996. The light curve of
0750  Nova Cas 1995 has shown strong similarities to the bright nova in
0760  Delphinus in 1967 (HR Del).

0800  This report contains photometric observations of Nova Cas 1995. New
0810  entries since Report No. 11 (1996 Jan 24) are labelled by an asterisk
0820  (*), while revised data are identified by a cross (#). A dollar sign
0830  ($) identifies the discovery observation.
0840
0850  An abridged version of this document, which only contains selected
0860  observations since Report No. 11, is sent to the VARSTARS, VSNET
0870  and NOVA distribution lists, and the Usenet news groups
0880  'sci.astro.amateur' and 'sci.astro.research'. The full version is
