Nova Eridani 2009

[Cassi]

Koichi Itagaki oznamil objev mozne novy v souhvezdi Eridana, jasnost kolem 8mag. Objekt se nachazi na 04:47:54.21  Decl. = -10:10:43.1 (equinox 2000.0)

Vypada to na vzplanuti kataklizmicke promenne typu WZ Sge

[brat]

Podle poslední spektroskopie se jedná dokonce o klasickou Novu!

[tt]Dear meteor observers!

Possible Nova in Eridanus was discovered by famous Japanese astronomer
Koichi Itagaki on Nov. 25.536 UT (CBET 2050) at magnitude 8.1.  It was
then retrospectively found on ASAS images dated by as early as Nov.
19.241 UT being yet brighter at 7.3 mag (AAVSO Special Notice #181).
The star has 15th magnitude at quiescence.

No images of possible Nova Eridani are available between Nov. 10.236 UT
when it was fainter than 14.0 and Nov. 19.241 UT.  Looks like the real
maximum has been missed!  Since the spectrum of the star in outburst
shows bright Balmer emission lines with expansion velocity of 3400-3600
km/s, this object is likely a classical Nova rather than a cataclysmic
variable of WZ Sge type.  This means that the real outburst amplitude
should have been 13-14 magnitudes rather than the observed 7.5, and some
time between Nov. 10th and 19th it *could* have been as bright as mag
1-2!!!  But nobody knows it for sure.  Not yet!

Here is where your help is needed.  Please check your photos (and
probably even videos) from the nights of 2009 Leonid shower activity
containing Orion and its surrounding constellations.  The Nova is
located near the Orion-Eridanus border, about 7 deg West and 2 deg South
of Regulus.  Precise coordinates of the star are:

R.A. = 04h47m54.2s, Decl. = -10d10'43" (J2000.0)

The position of star is shown with blue dashes on the following chart
(stars to 6.5m are shown):

If you find the images taken any time between Nov. 10 and Nov. 19
covering the area of interest, please check them for the presence of the
Nova Eridani 2009, or send them directly to me for the analysis and
photometry via E-mail address below in my signature.  Also, feel free to
send this message to other mailing list and circulate it among your
fellow astronomers.  This is really a rare coincidence that many images
of the sky were taken just in time during the Nova outburst because of
the Leonid meteors activity, and reconstructing the light curve of this
variable star would be very important.

Best regards,

Denis

Tak jsem se na ni koukl, pekna nova, mimochodem moje prvni Ardeglanderem jsem ji odhadl na 7,8mag pres R70/700mm.

..Update...
Odhad asi nebude moc relevantni, neb jedna srovnavaci hvezda byla bila a druha oranzova.

Uz snimam CCDckem, tam budou presnejsi mereni

[MaG]

Ano na fotkách z 18.11. ji mám, hledám dřívější a pointované, ale zatím marně.







Mně se jevila dneska jako slabší 8 mag. Ale fakt se to nedá přesně odhadnout. Ona je asi i jinak barevná než okolní hvězdy.

[Cassi]

Narychlo posilam jeden z mych snimku. Neupravovany (bez FF, DF), ty dofotim pozdeji, fotometrie stale bezi .

[bzucino]

bohuzial nemam cas prekladat, dam to sem tak ako to je.
V Eridanu sa zjasnila nova, chybaju foto medzi 10.-19.Nov. Pohladajte uvedene fota a mozte poslat spravu.

Nova Eridani 2009 je moc pekna, ale nezapominejme na nedavno objevenou novu Scuti 2009 = V496 Sct, u ktere v poslednich dnech kolisa jasnost mezi 7-8 mag.
Uz dlouho nepamatuju, ze by na obloze byly soucasne dve takto jasne novy.

Jasnou oblohu a mnoho uspechu pri pozorovani preje, makalaki

Ta druhá mrška je jasnější, ale jak už to bývá, média a tím i Nova Eridani vítězí

Pro zajímavost jsem v přicházející vysoké oblačnosti vyfotil spodek Oriona. Bohužel oblačnost mi hvězdy v Eridanu v podstatě sežrala a tak to lze brát spíše jako ukázku, kde nova leží

[ceres]

Pozeral som snimky z Madarska vecer 17.11., zial, okraj je asi pol stupna pred novou :-/ A UFO mi smeruje inam... Vobec, nasa meteorarska UFO uderka snima vacsinou na severozapad az severovychod, lebo na juhu svieti Bratislava. Takze niekto iny
