Scientific paper

We report Swift satellite X-ray (XRT) and SMARTS optical photometry and spectroscopy of KT Eri. The nova was discovered on 2009 November 25.536 UT but was present in outburst on sky patrol images taken on 2009 November 14.572 (IAUC #9098) which we take as t = 0 days here. Swift observations of KT Eri commenced on 2009 November 27 UT (day 13.1). No X-ray emission was detected with the XRT until day 39.9, at which time a relatively hard X-ray source was seen (all but one count above 1 keV), as was the case on day 47.5.
