Dear colleagues,
We, K. Ayani and T. Kawabata (Bisei Astronomical Observatory) obtained
a low-resolution spectrum (instrumental FWHM = 0.6nm; range 470-800nm)
of possible nova Sgr 2001 at Feb. 25.88 UT with the Bisei Astronomical
Observatory 1.01-m telescope. Strong and broad H-alpha and H-beta
emission lines and broad emission feature at 784nm (O I 777.3 + Mg II
789.0 ?) are prominent. Fitting a gaussian, the equivalent width and
FWHM of the H-alpha line are estimated to be 45nm and 4700 km/s,
respectively. This object is truly a nova.
Best regards,
Kazuya Ayani
Bisei Astronomical Observatory
