GCVS names are announced for 14 galactic Novae discovered in late 2011-early 2013. |
According to an agreement between the team of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS; Samus et al. 2012) and the Central Bureau of Astronomical Telegrams (BAT) reached in 1998, GCVS names for galactic Novae and some other variable stars of special interest can be given, upon BAT suggestion, between regular Name-lists of Variable Stars. These GCVS names are announced in IAU Circulars of Central Bureau Electronic Telegrams and then enter the next regular Name-list. This practice meets approval of the astronomical community, new names begin to be frequently used by researchers immediately after the variable's discovery.
Beginning with 2012, the BAT does not operatively announce new GCVS names for unusual variables. The current 80th Name-list of Variable Stars is very large in volume (6328 stars) and is being published in three parts. Two of them were published in 2011 (Kazarovets et al. 2011ab), the third part is now ready to submission. Since the publication of the second part, 14 galactic Novae were given their GCVS names. We have decided to continue the practice of quick naming Novae between the Name-lists. The GCVS names for the 14 Novae discovered since late 2011 (one of them was subsequently identified as a probable symbiotic star) are announced in this paper. To our knowledge, only V0965 Per and V0834 Car were announced with their GCVS names in IAU Circulars. Later on, we are planning to announce new GCVS names for Novae shortly upon discoveries, in brief notes in the Astronomical Circular (http://comet.sai.msu.ru/ gmr/AC/index.html), an electronic journal of the Eurasian Astronomical Society and Sternberg Astronomical Institute (Lomonosov Moscow University).
The table below presents information on the fourteen Novae. Asterisks means magnitudes from unfiltered CCD photometry. References are given in the last column.
