Spectroscopic classification of TCP J17394608-2457555 as a Galactic nova
Abstract
We obtained a spectrum of the transient TCP J17394608-2457555 (see CBAT TOCP) under poor conditions ( 4 arcsec seeing, some cloud) on 2017 May 11.15 UT. The spectrum was taken with the FRODOSpec spectrograph (Barnsley et al. 2012) on the 2-m Liverpool Telescope (LT; Steele et al. 2004), using the higher resolution mode, which gives a wavelength coverage of 3900 to 5100 & Aring and 5900 to 8000 & Aring, with a resolution of R 5400.
