2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/14268We present results of continuous CCD photometry of Nova Muscae 1998 during 17 nights obtained mainly during the transition phase in the light curve of the young nova. We discovered a periodical oscillation with the period 0.16930 day. This result is important for understanding this peculiar stage in the light curve of certain classical novae. We also note a possible connection between the transition / dust phase in nova light curves and intermediate polar systems.2 pages, Latex file, 1 .eps files, 1 .sty file,. to appear in "Cataclysmic Variables: a 60th Birthday Symposium in Honour of Brian Warner", held in Oxforf, 12-16/4/99, eds.
