Light curves for selected novae used for the determination of t₂ times. (a) LMCN 2018-05a: R-band photometry from SMARTS (black points); I-band Gaia data (blue points). A two-component fit to data brighter than m = 15 yields an estimated t₂ = 18 ± 2 days. (b) LMCN 2018-07a: a linear fit to Gaia photometry shows a 0.087 mag day⁻¹ decline rate, corresponding to an estimated t₂ = 23 ± 2 days. (c) LMCN 2019-07a: an initial decline rate of 0.132  ±  0.016 mag day⁻¹ yields t₂ = 15 ± 3. (d) LMCN 2019-11a: a linear fit to the limited ASAS-SN photometry suggests t₂ = 1.9 ± 0.2 days. (e) LMCN 2022-05a: g-band light curve based on ASAS-SN data. The light declines at a rate of 0.15 mag day⁻¹, corresponding to t₂ = 13 ± 2 days. (f) LMCN 2023-10a: g-band photometry from the ASAS-SN survey showed the nova declined rapidly at a rate of 1.1 mag day⁻¹, with t₂ = 1.8 ± 0.2 days.
