Spectroscopic classification of PNV J00424214+4114457 as a nova eruption in M31
Abstract
We obtained a spectrum of classical nova candidate PNV J00424214+4114457 (see ATel #11904) with the SPRAT spectrograph (R 350; Piascik et al. 2014) on the 2-m Liverpool Telescope (Steele et al. 2004) on 2018 August 7.06 UT. The spectrum shows strong Balmer emission lines (H & alpha;, H & beta;, H & gamma;, H & delta;) with a FWHM of about 1700 km/s.
