ASAS-SN Discovery of a Possible Galactic Nova ASASSN-17ib on the Rise
Abstract
During the ongoing All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN, Shappee et al. 2014), using data from the quadruple 14-cm "Brutus" telescope in Haleakala, Hawaii, we detect a bright, new transient source, possibly a classical nova (could also be a bright CV), near the Galactic plane Object RA (J2000) DEC (J2000) Gal l (deg) Gal b (deg) Disc.
