UBVRI photometry of Nova Cygni 1975

Abstract

MULTICOLOUR photometric observations have been made of Nova Cygni 1975. A periodic variation of 3.2 h was detected by Tempesti1 on 1975 September 14 when the nova was at mv = 6. On 1975 September 18 we made a 4-h survey in five colours, UBVRI, to check this variation using the 40-cm telescope of the Laboratorio di Astrofisica Spaziale CNR at Frascati, in the Monte Porzio Observatory. The variation was confirmed for all colours, and other significant characteristics of the light curve have been detected.
