The Optical Spectral Line List of RR Telescopii
Abstract
The symbiotic nova RR Telescopii has been observed with the 1.5 m telescope of the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO), using the 1.5 m bench-mounted echelle spectrograph in conjunction with a Tektronix CCD. It displays a rich emission-line spectrum, ranging in excitation from O I to [Ni VIII]. We present a list of 491 measured lines, with their suggested identifications, covering a wavelength range from 3430 to 9320 Å. Of these, only nine are unidentified, and 70 lines are cataloged that were not given in the original line list of Thackeray. Absolute line intensities are also given, which have been derived by comparing the high-resolution data with a flux-calibrated low-resolution spectrum taken with the Cassegrain spectrograph on the 1.0 m telescope at CTIO.
