[vsnet-alert 11374] Optical spectrum of Possible nova in Sagittarii (ASAS 180708-3346.6)

[新井彰]

We performed optical spectroscopy of ASAS 180708-3346.6 with
High Speed Spectrograph/KANATA on 2009 August 7.63 UT.

The balmer lines(H-alpha and H-beta) and Fe II emission lines
are seen in our spectrum. H-alpha emission line shows an
asymmetricprofile. The FWHM of the H-alpha emission line is about
2100 km/s. Our results are agreement with the report by
M. Fujii (vsnet-alert 11372). We also confirmed that the object is a nova.

Our spectrum is reported in our blog:
