ASASSN-19aad, possible nova

[Francisco Campos]

Hello,

I have received an alert about ASASSN-19aad as a possible reddened nova. Here is a spectrum taken "in extremis" before the star went out of vision, Very strange, this spectrum.
Star was about mag. 9 yesterday, the day of discovery.

Greetings,
Fran

if it clears here (cloudy now) this evening (New Zealand time) I plan to attempt to get spectra with both SA100 ( grating plus prism in converging beam) and LR200 with 600lpmm grating.

Congratulations for this excellent spectrum
Very red continuum.
The opacity is strong
You have also He I 6678

We obtained a spectrum of the transient AT 2019tpb/ASASSN-19aad (TCP J18395972-1025415;
see also <a href="http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/ ... html">CBAT
TOCP</a>) with the FRODOSpec spectrograph (resolution R ~ 5400; <a href="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2012A ... ">Barnsley
et al. 2012</a>) on the 2-m Liverpool Telescope (LT; <a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2004SPIE. ... 9S">Steele
et al. 2004</a>) on 2019 Oct 29.81 UT.

The spectrum shows Balmer lines, which exhibit P-Cygni profiles. We measure
the maximum velocity of the Hα absorption component to be ~1500 km/s.
We also find lines from He I (6678, 7065Å) and O I (7773Å)
at the red end of the spectrum, which also all show P-Cygni profiles. There
are numerous lines blueward of Hβ, mainly absorption lines, although
some may have weak emission components. Our spectrum of AT 2019tpb also
shows absorption lines originating from N II and C II.

This spectrum shows that AT 2019tpb/ASASSN-19aad is a Galactic nova in
the early stages of eruption.

great spectrum!

No spectra possible here in Nelson, New Zealand. it was fully clouded, then raining.

Hallo everybody,
here my last spectrum of ASASSN-19aad taken yesterday evening.
The profile evolved over the days showing a very broad and pronounced H Alpha emission line. In my low resolution spectrum we can see also weak emission lines as FeII (5018.4 A, 5169 A, 6248 A, 6456 A) and maybe a CII line at 7120A.
I hope the weather conditions will improve next week.
Finger crossed

Bonsoir, voici le profil de la nova observée le 04.11.2019 dans les nuages.

Bonsoir à tous, ce soir le temps a permis une excellente observation de cette nova qui va prendre sa retraite. Placez le profil et le graphique du V.R.

Bonjour à tous, très difficile à observer de mag.13, peut-être maintenant dans la phase nébulaire, fixée environ une heure après le coucher du soleil. Ma tentative a été faite le 30/11/2010 avec la grille de 600l / mm et un horizon sans nuages, une vraie fortune avec ce temps!
