Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: One of the earliest independent discoveries of the 1946 eruption of the recurrent nova T Coronae Borealis was by British amateur astronomer, Michael Woodman, on 1946 February 9 at ∼01:45 UT when the nova was magnitude ∼2.0. Though credited as an independent discovery at the time, only scant details appeared in contemporary reports. The circumstances of Woodman’s discovery are told from Woodman’s contemporaneous notes and his own recollections.
