Scientific paper

Extensive optical (UBVRI) and infrared (JHKL) photometry of Nova Mus 1983 obtained over a period of 300 days is tabulated. Infrared and optical spectra are described. Although by classical definition this was a fast nova its later development was slower than for typical objects of this class. Surprisingly the development of infrared thermal dust emission, which has been predicted for an object with a decay rate mV ≡ 0.06 mag day-1, did not occur. Throughout the period covered, the infrared emission was characteristic of a bound-free plus free-free plasma continuum with emission lines. The absolute magnitude at maximum was Mvis ≡ -7.6 and the distance of Nova Mus is about 5 kpc.
