ATel #14570: Spectroscopic Follow-up Observation Report of 
PGIR21fjn/AT2021kgk (Perhaps a Classical Nova?)
https://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=14570

We also reported follow-up spectroscopy of PGIR21fjn/AT2021kgk, which 
was taken about two days before the ones reported on ATel #14574.
(We observed it soon after the discovery report to TNS, so our 
observation was prior to ATel #14567)

"To sum up, our spectrum and the amplitude of the outburst prefer that 
this object is a classical nova having the P Cygni profile of Hα."
"However the optical light is so weak, so further observations 
(especially infrared spectroscopy) are strongly encouraged."

There is an error in the text, so we just send an erratum:

Sorry for the error.

Best Regards,
