Christopher Lloyd and Tonny Vanmunster:
"Photometry of the classical nova ASASSN-19xw = AT 2019rki"
http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=13180

Unfortunately neither multiband photometry nor astrometry
has been provided in ATel #13180.
AFAIK no spectroscopy has been reported anywhere yet.

This transient is rather blue (comparison between ASAS-SN
g magnitudes and Tonny's CV magnitudes).
And for an unreddened classical nova a peak magnitude of
14.9 would be very faint.

Spectroscopy and multiband photometry are urgently required
(precise astrometry would also be useful).

Clear skies,
Patrick
