Abstract

We report second-timescale infrared photometry of the nova V1674 Her using Palomar Gattini-IR (PGIR). These observations constitute the first infrared and highest temporal resolution data (resolution of ≈0.84 s) of the nova reported to date. PGIR observed in this fast readout mode for more than an hour on three nights between 3 and 6 days after discovery. We searched for periodic variability using a Lomb–Scargle periodogram and did not detect anything down to a three sigma upper limit of 0.093 mag. This suggests that the periodic variability detected in the nova by Patterson et al. was lower by at least a factor of about 1.65 in the first week of the eruption.
