V960 Mon light curves

After the outburst by nearly 2.9mag in r around September 2014 the brightness gently fades until April 2015 by nearly 1mag in U and 0.5mag in z. Thereafter the brightness at {lambda}>5000{AA} was constant until June 2015 while the shortest wavelengths (U,B) indicate a new rise, similar to that seen for the FUor V2493 Cyg (HBC722).

Our near-infrared (NIR) monitoring between December 2014 and April 2015 shows a smaller outburst amplitude (~2mag) and a smaller (0.2-0.3mag) post-outburst brightness decline. Optical and NIR color-magnitude diagrams indicate that the brightness decline is caused by growing extinction. The post-outburst light curves are modulated by an oscillating color-neutral pattern with a period of about 17 days and an amplitude declining from ~0.08mag in October 2014 to ~0.04mag in May 2015.
