robin_astro Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Yes PNV means Possible NoVa to distinguish it from PN which means Planetary Nebula (and PSN which means Possible SuperNova) eg on the CBAT TOCP http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/tocp.html Cheers Robin Edited February 6, 2020 by robin_astro typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skipjack Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Ok, great Robin. Tnx! Came across the abbreviation in an Atel-circular which was Nova-related. Never heard it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
