Title: Photometric Periods of Recent Southern Novae
Abstract:
We initiated a program to follow the temporal evolution of novae
using the SMARTS facilities in 2004. Since then we have followed the
evolution of some 50 galactic novae spectroscopically and
photometrically. The next step is to undertake a systematic search for
orbital periods. We propose here for time on the 1.3m/ANDICAM to search
for photometric periods in the range of a few hours, and in the range 1-
20 days. Our targets are 7 recent novae visible in the A semester.
This complements our ongoing longer-term SMARTS monitoring of these
systems as they approach quiescence.
