A revised light curve for the 1885 supernova in M 31
Abstract
The visual photometry of the 1885 supernova in M31 has been reanalyzed and the resulting light curve shown to match modern photometry of type I supernovae. The derived absolute photographic magnitude at maximum light, -18.5, compares very well with the mean value derived from observations of other type I events.
