[vsnet-alert 4710] Nova Aql 2000 optical spectroscopy

[Makoto Uemura <uemura@kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp>]

Dear Dr. Green

We would like to report the following result about spectroscopy on 
possible nova Aql 2000 to IAU Circ.

Regards
Makoto Uemura and Taichi Kato

----------
NOVA AQUILAE 2000 = CI AQUILAE ?
    M. Uemura and T. Kato, Kyoto University, report:  
"We obtained low-dispersion spectra (430-730 nm) of possible 
nova Aql 2000 on April 29.6 UT with the Okayama Astrophysical 
Observatory 1.88-m telescope.  H-alpha emission, whose FWHM 
is about 2300 km/s, is prominent and H-beta is also detected. 
The spectrum is similar to those of fast novae a few week after 
their maximum.  The balmer lines show no P-Cyg profiles.
These spectral features indicate the outbursting object is 
a fast nova at the slightly evolved stage."
