Abstract:
Based on visual estimates by AAVSO observers, we have constructed
light curves for 80 Galactic novae flared up in 1986-2006 and
determined the photometric parameters mvis(max), t2, and t3 for 64
novae. Using the empirical relation
MV(max)=-10.66(0.33)+2.31(0.26)*log(t2) (Cohen,
1985ApJ...292...90C 1985ApJ...292...90C), we have obtained the absolute magnitudes at
maximum and apparent distance moduli of the novae.
