Nova Sct 2017

Post by Francois Teyssier »

The peculiar nova Sct 2017 (strong oscillations) is now in nebular phase
James Foster obtained very interesting spectra, with strong enhancement of the ionizing souce
See notably the evolution of [Fe VII] in one month.
Perhaps also [Fe X] 6375

The nova is now at mag V = 13, excellent target, well placed in the evening sky
