Here we present 73 novae found with eighteen epochs of observations of the bulge of M31. The observations span from September 1995 to July 1999, although regular observations did not begin until June 1997. The novae presented here were discovered by students participating in the RBSE program. The above Hydrogen-alpha image was taken with the KPNO 0.9m telescope and T2KA CCD camera. The field of view is 23 arcmin square.
Red dots indicate the locations of the novae discovered.
The detection threshold is roughly 19th magnitude in H-alpha. An example light curve is also shown for one of the novae with good sampling. Some novae are visible for only a few months while others were present for several years. We have two tables that list the 75 novae, sorted by Right Ascention, with the epoch of first detection, as well as the last epoch of detection if it was visible in more than one epoch. The coordinates for each nova are measured relative to HST Guide Star Catalog stars within the field.
