Photometry and spectroscopy of declining Nova ASASSN-17hx, now passing at t_2
Abstract
ASASSN-17hx was discovered (Atel #10524) when still > 4 mag below and 41 days before maximum. Spectral classification and pre-maximum evolution have been reported (Atel #10527, #10558, #10572, #10613), as well as the identification in the VVVX survey of a Ks=16.7 mag star as the likely progenitor of the nova, and recently UV observations and an upper limit to X-ray flux obtained with Swift (Atel 10636).
