title = "Optical light curve of nova KT Eridani",
abstract = "We present the optical light curve of the very fast nova, KT Eridani, from its outburst in November 2009 to quiescence in 2012. Comparison of our data with the 24-hour monitoring by Swift on 2010 March 31 indicates a possible anticorrelation between the X-ray and optical emissions. A period of 57 d is found in the long-term optical light curve, which we interpret as the orbital modulation of the hot spot on the white dwarf disk accreting material from an early K-type giant. Our study lends support to the notation that KT Eri may be a recurrent nova.",
