Nova Andromedae 1986
Abstract
H. Kosai, Tokyo Astronomical Observatory, telexes that Mitsuri Suzuki, Ena City, Gifu, discovered a nova of mpv = 8.0 (200-mm camera, Tri-X film, green filter) on Dec. 5.44 UT at R.A. = 23h09m.5, Decl. = +47 10' (equinox 1950.0). Images were subsequently identified by M. Honda, Kurashiki, on Dec. 4.40 and 5.39, at mag 8 and 7.5 (Tri-X film), respectively, and by M. Wakuda on Dec. 4.4. The object was not present on Honda's films on Dec. 2. Kosai also reports that spectroscopic observations by Y. Norimoto at the Okayama Station on Dec. 8.40 UT showed strong emissions of H alpha and H beta with blue-shifted absorption. There were other emissions near 500 nm, and the magnitude was V about 7.
