V1039 Cen : Nova in Centauri
W. Liller reported the discovery of a possible nova of 8.6mag on
October 1
(vsnet-campaign-nova 594).
Confirmations were reported by some visual observers
(vsnet-campaign-nova 597),
and then, the nova started relatively fast fading
(vsnet-campaign-nova 611).
The reported magnitudes since October 12 indicate possible
oscillations between 11.1-11.6
(vsnet-campaign-nova 625).
On October 23, it brightened to the second maximum of 10.4mag as
reported by A. Pearce
(vsnet-campaign-nova 638).
The object again started fading from the second maximum.
The third maximum was observed at 11.8mag on November 22
(vsnet-campaign-nova 656).
The nova was shown to be in nebular phase on November 12 according
to spectroscopy by Della Valle et al.
(vsnet-campaign-nova 655).
