Optical and Swift X-ray/UV observations of the 2020 flare of the symbiotic nova V1413 Aql
Abstract
The faint symbiotic star V1413 Aql (= AS 338) turned into a bright symbiotic nova in 1981, reaching a peak V=10.3 in 1983, and remaining much brighter that in quiescence ever since, with a light-curve punctuated every 434 days by deep eclipses of the burning WD by the M5III companion (Munari 1992, A & A 257, 163).
