Life after eruption - IV. Spectroscopy of 13 old novae
arXiv:1405.3635 · doi:10.1093/mnras/stu781
Abstract
We present data on 13 post-nova systems. This includes the recovery via UBVR photometry of the five post-novae X Cir, V2104 Oph, V363 Sgr, V928 Sgr and V1274 Sgr and their spectroscopic confirmation. We provide accurate coordinates and finding charts for those objects. Additional first-time or improved spectroscopic data are presented for V356 Aql, V500 Aql, V604 Aql, V1370 Aql, MT Cen, V693 CrA, V697 Sco and MU Ser. Investigating the behaviour of a few easily accessible parameters yields (limited) information on the accretion state and the system inclination. We predict that X Cir and V697 Sco are likely to reveal their orbital period via time series photometry and that long-term photometric monitoring of V356 Aql, V500 Aql, V1370 Aql and X Cir has a good chance of discovering outburst-like behaviour in these systems.
