Follow-up Photometry and Astrometric Confirmation of PNV J00423807+4108423 (AT 2021rno) as a recurrence of M31N 1923-12c
Abstract
The recent M31 nova candidate PNV J00423807+4108423 (AT 2021rno), discovered on 2021 Jul 02.758 UT by Mi Zhang and Xing Gao at the Xingming Observatory, has been suspected to be the second recurrence of M31N 1923-12c (the first being M31N 2012-01b, ATel #3914; Shafter et al., 2015, ApJS, 216, 34). Recent spectroscopic observations of the nova are fully consistent with this interpretation (ATel #14750).
