Scientific paper

Optical observations of Nova LMC 1990 No. 2 during its outburst are reported. The gross spectral characteristics of the nova closely resemble those of the Galactic recurrent novae U Sco and V394 CrA. Based on the observations, the nova is classified as a U Sco type recurrent nova. This makes possible a firm estimate of the absolute magnitude of this class of recurrent novae for the first time. The spectral characteristics of the nova suggest that alternatives to the current outburst model of U Sco type recurrent novae should be considered.
