The optical counterpart of GRS 1009-45 (X-ray Nova Velorum 1993).
Abstract
We report the discovery of the optical counterpart of the X-ray transient GRS 1009-45 (XN Vel 1993). From an analysis of photometric and spectroscopic observations at early and late stages, we are able to constrain the distance to the nova and the absolute magnitude of the late-type companion.
