Photometry of Nova MUSCAE 1983
Abstract
We present photometric observations of the GQ Mus at quiescence which reveal a strong orbital modulation. We also discuss recent spectroscopic observations which reveal a very short orbital period. On the basis of the results, we argue that the system belongs to the class of magnetized cataclysmic variables.
