We used the Tenagra Observatory to observe M32, NGC 205, NGC 147, and NGC 185 in their entirety every clear night over a 4.5 month interval and discovered one nova in M32 and a candidate nova in NGC 205. The nova in M32 was verified spectroscopically. The nova candidate in NGC 205 had an unusually low peak luminosity (M_V = -5.1), and we were unable to obtain spectroscopic verification. We report a high bulk nova rate for M32 of 2(+2.4,-1.0) yr^-1 and, assuming the candidate nova is correctly identified, for N"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"astro-ph/0501030","kind":"arxiv","version":1},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
