Swift UVOT detection of the recurrent nova M31N 1990-10a during its 2016 eruption
Abstract
A new eruption of the M31 recurrent nova M31N 1990-10a was discovered recently on July 27 (see ATel #9276). The last observed eruption took place in 2007 (ATel #1131), which suggests a recurrence period of merely 8-9 years.
