The outburst of the recurrent nova WZ SGE in 1978.
Abstract
The results of photographic observations of the recurrent nova WZ Sge during its 1978 outburst, between December 5 and 25, using the 40/200 cm double astrograph of Beijing Observatory are given. The observed properties are discussed and the total energy released during the outburst is calculated to be about 1.07 (+ 40) erg. It is estimated that the next outburst will occur around the year 2011.
