AAVSO: FH Ser, May 2001 Variable Star Of The Month (333 words)
FH Ser was discovered visually on its rise to maximum by Minoru Honda of Kurashiki, Japan, who observed it at visual magnitude 7.0 on 1970 February 13.860 UT.
FH Ser has been referred to as the ‘Rosetta stone of nova energetics' (Gallagher 1977) because observations of this nova over a large range of wavelengths indicate that the outburst of a classical nova is much more complex than had previously been thought.
FH Ser was one of the first novae to be observed in the optical, the far-ultraviolet, the far infrared, and in the radiowave regions.
