Following the announcement of an increase in brightness observed by Kojima.T on 20211110.586(vsnet-alert 26413), Vittorio Andreoli and Dr. Paolo Ochner report:

We obtained low (3800-8000 Ang) and high (5750-6980 Ang) resolution spectra on 20211112.96 with the Asiago 1.22m Galileo Telescope + B&C spectrograph.

The spectra show all Balmer lines in emission and emissions of He I 4923,5016,5876,6678 Ang; [O I] 6300,6364 Ang; Fe II 4730,5169,6432,6456,6495,6516 Ang; Fe I 6137,6191,6593 Ang; [S II] 6716,6734 Ang and strong H,K Ca II. Emissions appear narrow and in fact Balmer emissions have an FWHM of 500 km /s while He I 5876 has FWHM 200 km/s The spectrum is similar to that of the V899Mon outburst (Park et al 2021) so we classify this as a Young Star Object (YSO) outburst.

This brightening was also detected by ASAS-SN

EX Lup-type outburst?
