Light curves for selected novae used for the determination of t2 times. (a) LMCN 2024-03a: g-band photometry from ASAS-SN shows a very rapid decline (1.3 mag day−1) characterized by t2 = 1.5 ± 0.2. (b) LMCN 2024-04a: ASAS-SN g-band photometry showing a decline rate of 0.51 mag day−1, corresponding to t2 = 3.9 ± 0.3 days. (c) LMCN 2025-03a: o-band light curve based on ATLAS data. The light declines at a rate of 0.15 mag day−1, corresponding to t2 = 26 ± 3 days. (d) LMCN 2025-09a: o-band photometry from the ATLAS survey showed the nova declined slowly with an estimated t2 = 56 ± 5 days.
