Nova in M31 2000 2
This page is devoted to information on Nova M31 2000 2 in M31 (= NGC 224) Basic information on this Nova, including the last reported brightness, on this Nova can be found on the main page. Information on the original web pages for many of these images can be found on the Supernova links web page.
Another discovery from the
LOSS team. Two of these Novae were announced at the
same time, one far past maximum, and the other near maximum.
Nova M31 2000 2 is the one
on the right.
We have a DSS
Photometry reference image made by Odd Trondal.
Icon created from the LOSS discovery image.
I catalog extraglactic novae basically because nobody else bothers to keep track of them. However, this presents me with the problem of differentiating one nova from another. CBAT typically does not give names to extra galactic novae other than saying "Nova in M31". So, much to CBAT's dismay, I started naming them with "2" and "3", etc. Following the convention of the naming convention of Novae found in the LMC and SMC. It shold be noted that lots of these Novae are found and not reborted to CBAT.
