Abstract

We report white light observations of the initial outburst of Nova Eridani 2009 obtained using the USAF/NASA Solar Mass Ejection Imager (SMEI) on board the Coriolis satellite. KT Eri was discovered on 2009 November 25.54 UTC at magnitude 8.1 (CBET#2050). Its outburst was then found on pre-discovery images with a peak magnitude of 5.4 on 2009 November 14.63 UT (IAUC#9098) and it has subsequently been detected as a radio source (ATel#2434) and a luminous soft X-ray source (ATel#2423, ATel#2418, ATel#2392).
