Swift X-ray and UV evolution of nova V2491 Cyg 7-34 days after eruption
Abstract
Swift has continued to monitor the nova V2491 Cyg, which erupted on 2008 April 10 (IAUC #8934, CBET #1334), after its two observations on April 11 and 15 (ATel #1480). We report here on Swift data collected every 1-3 days over the interval April 17 to May 14 (7-34 days after eruption). The X-ray emission initially peaked at ~9 count ks-1 on April 15, and then declined to ~3 count ks-1 on April 23.
