[vsnet-alert 16964] Re: Is LMC V1341 in eruption?

[Sebastian Otero]

This recurrent nova is very fast.
An outburst was detected by ASAS-3 in October 11, 2002 at V= 11.15, fading 
to 14.2 four days later.
If it is a positive observation, let's hope it is on the ascending branch of 
the nova!

Cheers,
Sebastian
