And here is the fits file. The response star was HD42525. #Curses. FIT file not allowed on the forum. Let me know contact details, and I'll send you the fits spectrum. ****************** Tom, also, and since you have been so kind, you could post the fits file to my private address tassonapoleao@gma...

Kia ora koutou, as they say in these parts. I managed to get a shot of this object this evening from New Zealand. 120 min in 4x30min exposures, although some occulting from the observatory walls in the last exposure. ************************* This is great, Tom, thanks! Excellent spectrum! It looks...

#Curses. FIT file not allowed on the forum. zip it or change the extension eg to .txt ? Looks like a nova to me. You could formally classify it on TNS https://www.wis-tns.org/object/2022khw and on TOCP http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J05222788-6936333.html Robin *******************...

Hi! I am Tasso Napoleao from Brazil and I belong to the BRATS (Brazilian Transient Search) Team which found PNV J05222788-6936333 a couple of days ago. This is our third classical nova we discovered in the LMC (previous ones were LMCN 2019-07a and LMCN 2019-11a). We are already running BVR photometr...

Hi friends, I have already answered to Malc about this in the SASER list. Achernar is actually showing a strong Ha emission, as shown in Malc´s excellent profile. However, we believe this is not news and that the current phase has started sometime around Jan 2013. Through all the second half of 2012...

Martin, I am currently using VSpec and I usually do not remove earth lines.

Regards,
Tasso.

Unfortunately not at this moment, Ken. We are currently running only H-Alpha since we are also engaged on a program for monitoring a group of southern Be stars in the H-Alpha region (this was defined as our priority project about one year ago, when we began our work with spectroscopy). So, our time ...

This is excellent indeed, Malc ! Below is our last profile, made on Jan 30 with a 2400 l/mm grating. I believe the line structures are quite the same perceived on Malc´s spectrum. Also, the trend for brightening, already pointed out by Terry on Jan 28, seems clear. 140130_novacentauri_600s.png Last ...

Dear friends, 140121_novacentauri_600s.png The evolution of the expansion velocity based on our H-Alpha profiles follows the same trend already indicated by Malcolm and based on H-beta. Since January 03 and up to Jan 21, we have estimated an increase in expansion speed from about -1800 km/s to some ...

Hi friends, Weather has not been favourable for us over the last weeks (summer is usually very hot and wet in this part of Brazil). Below please find what could be done in the period: 131221_novacentauri_600s.png 140103_novacentauri_600s.png Spectra of V1369 Cen taken on Dec 21, 2013 and Jan 03, 201...
