New Observing Campaign Posted: Details for Nova in Vulpecula: V615 Vul ( = N Vul 2024 = PNV J19430751+2100204)
Abstract
V615 Vul ( = N Vul 2024 = PNV J19430751+2100204) was discovered on 2024 July 29.832 UT at unfiltered CCD magnitude 11.2 by the New Milky Way (NMW) survey, and reported on behalf of the survey team by K. Sokolovsky (University of Illinois and Sternberg Astronomical Institute), S. Korotkiy, N. Potapov, and S. Ostapenko; images were obtained with a 135-mm-f.l. f/2.0 telephoto lens (IAU CBAT Transient Object Confirmation Page; CBET 5423). It was confirmed as a highly reddened galactic nova by K. Taguchi (ATel #16743) on 2024 July 30.47 UT and by P. Valisa and U. Munari (ATel #16746) on July 30.869 UT. Ongoing photometry and spectroscopy are requested.

Justification
Optical coverage of N Vul 2024 as it evolves is needed to build the light curve to be used for reference and analysis; coverage until after the nova returns to minimum is essential for studies of long-term behavior of novae. Spectroscopic coverage contributes to understanding the processes taking place during the evolution of the eruption.
