Scientific paper

The discovery of a new X-ray nova, Nova Muscae 1991, is reported. The nova was found in a search for the optical counterpart of the new transient X-ray source GRS1121-68. The optical position, light curve, and early spectral development of the outburst support the identification of Nova Muscae 1991 as a binary, and similarities with A0620-00 in its early evolutionary stages suggest Nova Muscae 1991 as a candidate black-hole binary.
