ASAS-SN Discovery of A Likely Galactic Nova ASASSN-16kt at V=9.1
Abstract
During the ongoing All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN or "Assassin"), using data from the quadruple 14-cm "Cassius" telescope in CTIO, Chile, we detect a new, very bright transient source, most likely a classical nova, fairly close to the the Galactic plane Object RA (J2000) DEC (J2000) Gal l (deg) Gal b (deg) Disc.
