Nova Lup 2016 = PNV J15290182-4449409 = ASASSN-16kt [V407 Lup]
Abstract:
A nova in Lupus designated as Nova Lup 2016 or ASASSN-16kt was discovered by the All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN) on September 24, 2016. The discovery magnitude was 9.11 V. Observations of all types and bands are encouraged to study the evolution of this bright nova. High-speed photometer observations are particularly requested to test a recent theoretical prediction about fast periodic oscillations in optical light curves.
Justification:
To test a recent theoretical prediction by Ken Shen, which suggests that novae should show fast periodic oscillations in their optical light curves if gravity waves help expel the envelope.
