Spectroscopic classification of M31N 2017-09a as a classical nova
Abstract
We obtained a spectrum of classical nova candidate M31N 2017-09a (AT 2017glc; see TNS) with the SPRAT spectrograph (resolution R 350; Piascik et al. 2014) on the 2-m Liverpool Telescope (Steele et al. 2004) on 2017 September 13.05 UT. The spectrum shows strong Balmer emission lines (H & alpha;, H & beta;, H & gamma;).
