[vsnet-alert 14865] nova Mon 2012

[Seiichiro Kiyota]

Dear all,

Nova Mon 2012 was discovered at very low in morning sky (just after conjunction).
Reported spectrum (like nebular phase) and lightcurve indicate that maximum of this nova was long before discovery.
Proposed range of outburst (more tan 8 mag) indicates that maximum may be much brighter.


Like V598 Pup, maximum of this nova might be recored in a survey or a satellite.
Has any one checked?
