Bright novae in M 31 and the relation between maximum magnitude and rate of decline.
Abstract
The relationship between the maximum brightness and the rate of decline of novae in M 31 is considered. It is shown that the fastest novae are more luminous than previously believed. Data are presented on the nova detected in 1983.
