The 2016 January eruption of recurrent Nova LMC 1968. (2020)

Keywords : binaries eclipsing - stars: individual: (Nova LMC 1968) - novae, cataclysmic variables - ultraviolet: stars - X-rays: binaries

Abstract:We present a comprehensive review of all observations of the eclipsing recurrent Nova LMC 1968 in the Large Magellanic Cloud which was previously observed in eruption in 1968, 1990, 2002, 2010, and most recently in 2016. We derive a probable recurrence time of 6.2+/-1.2yr and provide the ephemerides of the eclipse. In the ultraviolet-optical-IR photometry the light curve shows high variability right from the first observation around 2 d after eruption. Therefore no colour changes can be substantiated. Outburst spectra from 2016 and 1990 are very similar and are dominated by H and He lines longward of 2000{AA}. Interstellar reddening is found to be E(B-V)=0.07+/-0.01. The super soft X-ray luminosity is lower than the ...(more)

This catalogue is a collection of the data for Nova LMC 1968 up to and including the 2016 eruption. The data includes the photometry of the 2002 eruption as seen by EROS in addition to the data collected in the course of the study of the 2016 eruption of the recurrent Nova LMC 1968, with the exception of the IUE spectra which have been processed and are archived at IUE data repositories in the USA and Europe. This collection includes the reduced Swift UVOT photometry and spectra, but not the Swift X-ray data which can be accessed from the USA, Italian and UK Swift data centres. We present the data from photometry and spectroscopy by year of eruption and/ or source (for OGLE). Eruptions were observed in 1968, 1990, 2002, 2010, 2016, and 2020.
