Dear colleagues,
Philip Bennett (my professional supervisor in researching the system VV Cep) asked me to share the following message in this forum ...

Nova Cas 2021
Sill bright
Mag ~ 11.5
Follow up strongly recommended

Here's a list of "recent old novae", magnitude < 15.5
whose deserve continuous observations.
They may be:
- novae in nebular phase Ex.: V1606 Vul
- peculiar very slow novae Ex. : V1405 cas
- symbiotic novae (very slow) Ex. : CN Cha

Hi Friends,


Good job whith UVEX
for calibration what is your process ?

The subject of this topic is the nova outburst of RS OPh in 2021, its photometric and spectroscopic development, the underlying physics ...

For technical discussions, please use the dedicated forum (including for instance a ...

Has anyone interpreted the reason for the growth of that line over time? JJ

It is He II 4686 and/or NIII/CIII blend
The envelop recedes and its temperature is rising (perfect gas law): the ionization strengthen (~ 50 000 K), thus He II is doubly ionized and recombination produces the increase of ...
