ASAS-SN Discovery of a Possible Bright Galactic Nova ASASSN-17mt
Abstract
During the ongoing All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN, Shappee et al. 2014), using data from the quadruple 14-cm "Cassius" telescope in CTIO, Chile, 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.
