| Abstract: | Based on visual estimates by AAVSO observers, we have constructed light curves for 80 Galactic novae flared up in 1986–2006 and determined the photometric parameters m vis(max), t 2, and t 3 for 64 novae. Using the empirical relation M V (max) = ?10.66(±0.33) + 2.31(±0.26) × log t 2, we have obtained the absolute magnitudes at maximum and apparent distance moduli of the novae. |
