Unlike previously observed fast novae, the temporal evolution of Nova Her 1991 is similar to slower, dusty novae in which the appearance of thermal infrared emission from condensing dust was coincident with a transition in the visible light curve. However, the total luminosity radiated by Nova Her 1991 in the infrared was only ∼5% of the outburst luminosity. It is suggested that the dust formed in the shell of Nova Her 1991 consisted of dense clumps with a covering factor of less than unity, and that one of these clumps formed along the line of sight to the central star
