Classification of M31N 2017-01e as a He/N nova
Abstract
We obtained a spectrum of classical nova candidate M31N 2017-01e (TCP J00441072+4154221; see CBAT TOCP) with the SPRAT spectrograph (resolution R 350; Piascik et al. 2014) on the 2-m Liverpool Telescope (LT; Steele et al. 2004) on 2017 February 2.83 UT. The spectrum shows strong, and very broad, Balmer emission lines (H α, H β, H γ), with both H α and H β clearly displaying a double-peaked structure.
