Nova Monocerotis 2012 = PNV J06393874+0553520 [V959 Mon]

Active Dates: Aug. 9, 2012 – Aug. 9, 2012


Abstract:

The campaign focuses on observing Nova Monocerotis 2012, discovered by Shigehisa Fujikawa. The nova's discovery magnitude was 9.4 C and it was confirmed by multiple spectra, indicating it is a classical nova evolving toward the nebular phase.

Justification:

The nova was discovered on 2012 Aug. 09.8048 UT with a magnitude of 9.4, and spectra confirmed its classical nova status. Given its evolution toward the nebular phase, ongoing observation is needed.
