Then the brightness of the target nova is related to the brightness of the template nova by $(M[t])_{\\rm template} = (M[t/f_{\\rm s}] - 2.5 \\log f_{\\rm s})_{\\rm target}$, where $M[t]$ is the absolute magnitude and a function of time $t$, and $f_{\\rm s}$ is the ratio of timescales between the target and template novae. In the previous papers of this series, we show that many novae broadly overlap in the time-stretched $(B-V)_0$-$(M_V-2.5 \\log f_{\\rm s})$ color-magnitude diagram. In the present paper, we propose two other $(U-B)_0$-$(M_B-2.5\\log f_{\\rm s})$ and $(V-I)_0$-$(M_I-2.5\\log f_{\\rm s})$ diagrams, and show that their tracks overlap for 16 novae and for 52 novae, respectively. Here, $(U-B)_0$, $(B-V)_0$, and $(V-I)_0$ are the intrinsic $U-B$, $B-V$, and $V-I$ colors and not changed by the time-stretch, and $M_B$, $M_V$, and $M_I$ are the absolute $B$, $V$, and $I$ magnitudes. Using these properties, we considerably refine the previous estimates of their distance and reddening. The obtained distances are in reasonable agreement with those of {\\it Gaia} Data Release 2 catalogue.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2021-03-22T08:04:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "color-magnitude diagram", "color evolution", "classical novae", "template nova", "target nova" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 211, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
