$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=16.4cm,clip]{h4263f1.eps} \end{figure}$ Figure 1: The V-band lightcurve of V445 Puppis between 1994 to 2001 based on IAU circulars and VSNET reports. The small dots represent visual/photographic estimates and the circles represent photo-electric/CCD values. The triangles give upper limits on the magnitudes.

The stars within a smaller, 1 degree field of V445 Puppis are plotted by filled circles, the other stars by empty circles.

$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=8.8cm,clip]{h4263f7.eps} \end{figure}$ Figure 7: The post-outburst energy distribution of V445 Puppis on 2 Jan. 01 is shown in the top panel. It has been matched by the sum of 2 black-body curves - one at 7500 K and the other for a dust component at 1800 K. The bottom panel shows the pre-outburst flux distribution based on 2MASS data. A 6500 K black-body fit is shown to this and also the expected distribution from an accretion disk following a $F{_{\rm\nu }}\alpha \nu {^{\rm 1/3}}$ relation. For greater details see text.
