Nova Mon 2012 resolved as a double radio source

Description

Nova Mon 2012 was first reported as a gamma-ray transient, subsequently associated with an optical nova and detected in the radio and X-ray/UV. Following the dramatic brightening at high radio frequencies, on September 18 we obtained e-VLBI radio observations of Nova Mon 2012 at 5.0 GHz using eight telescopes of the European VLBI Network (EVN), providing resolution of 6x8 milli-arcseconds.
