Absolute spectrophotometry of nova Cygni 1975.
Abstract
Ratiometric photoelectric spectrophotometry of Nova Cygni 1975 was carried out on 1975 August 31, September 2, 3. cc Lyr was used as reference star and its abolute spectral energy distribution was used to reduce the spectrophotometry of the nova to absolute units. Emission strengths of Hoc, H , H (in W cm-2) were derived. The Balmer decrement Mcc: M : M was compared with theory, and found to deviate less than had been reported for an earlier nova.
