Scientific paper

The recurrent nova T Pyx was discovered in outburst on 14 April 2011 (CBET #2700), which we take as day 0. Swift observations have continued generally every three days since the first X-ray detection by Kuulkers et al. (ATEL #3285). UVOT uvm2 filter observations (central wavelength 2246 A) show a slow ~1 magnitude rise from around day 20 to day 50, and then a steep decline by 3 magnitudes from about 70 to 115 days after the outburst.
