Similarities between the X-Ray Light Curves of the 2016 and 2020 Eruptions of the Recurrent Nova LMC 1968.

Abstract (from CDS):

The latest eruption of the recurrent nova LMC 1968 was extensively observed by Swift with its X-ray Telescope instrument. A comparison with the Swift data set from the 2016 eruption shows that the X-ray evolution was remarkably similar just as the evolution of the optical photometry and spectroscopy was similar during previously observed eruptions. The only difference is a surprising decrease in the recurrence time. LMC 1968 is only the second nova for which Swift has observed the entire X-ray evolution more than once. At 50 kpc, it is close enough to be extensively observed in its next eruption.
