Hello,

You can see Nova Cas 2020 through the SC16" and the NOU_T echelle with one ATIK460EX.

Cheers, J. Guarro.

Hello all,

Here is my new update for the nova Cas 2020 with the following spectrum obtained the 6th of September at 21 h 38 TU with my Alpy 600 (resolution of 514, JJ = 2459099.4016) and an acquisition time of 70 min :

Nova Cas 2020 on August 5th, 6th, 7th, 15th, 17th, 24th, 25th and on September 6th 2020 (identification of lines from PlotSpectra)
Nova Cas 2020 on August 5th, 6th, 7th, 15th, 17th, 24th, 25th and on September 6th 2020 (identification of lines from PlotSpectra)
The relative intensities of the Balmer lines continue to increase and more particularly that of the Halpha line. Those of [OI] lines at 6300A and 6364A have clearly increased since August 25. The lines of FeII remain evident.

Good coverage of this faint nova with peculiar light curve. Congratulations!

Interesting [OI] profile in Christian's spectrum:

with a narrow component (~30 km/s) at the rest wavelength
while the whole line have a FWHM ~ 570 km/s, slightly displaced to shorter wavelengths by ~ 55 km/s

This spectrum of the nova recorded on 8th Sept with a LISA and C11 shows a strong broad emission line centred on 7115 A which I cannot identify in the list of nova emission lines in Williams AJ 144 (2012). Also, is my identification of the broad C II line at 7235 A correct?

Quick update, for those who can follow O I 7772 or 8446:
change_novacas2020_20200908_OI7772.png
O I 7772 has lost its P-Cyg profile (always there from the beginning, at a similar magnitude).
The Ca II IRT region (9 x 1800 sec):
change_20200908_906_OI_8446.png
O I 8446 has doubled its height and EW ratio compared to Ca II IRT, and widened.
Having more spectra on the process queue, related to previous 2 comments...
