U. Munari et al., SPECTROSCOPY AND UBVR(J)-JHKLM PHOTOMETRY OF NOVA-CASSIOPEIAE-1995 - THE FIRST 210 DAYS, Astronomy and astrophysics, 315(1), 1996, pp. 166-169
The results of spectroscopic and UBVR(J)-JHKLM photoelectric monitorin
g of the peculiar Nova Cassiopeiae 1995 during the first 210 days of t
he eruption are presented and briefly discussed. We found a total ampl
itude of Delta B=11.4 mag, a reddening E(B-V)=0.45 and no evidence for
significant mass loss. The nova is still around maximum brightness se
ven months after onset of the outburst.
