Infrared spectroscopy of the recent outburst in V1047 Cen (Nova Centauri 2005) (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). Infrared spectroscopy of the recent outburst in V1047 Cen (Nova Centauri 2005). Astrophysical Journal Letters, 886, Article L14. https://doi.org/10.3847/2041-8213/ab5310

Fourteen years after its eruption as a classical nova (CN), V1047 Cen (Nova Cen 2005) began an unusual re-brightening in 2019 April.
