Spectroscopic Classification of AT 2019pih and M31N 2019-09a as novae in M31
Abstract
We obtained a spectrum of the transient AT 2019pih with the SPRAT spectrograph (resolution R 350; Piascik et al. 2014) on the 2-m Liverpool Telescope (LT; Steele et al. 2004) on 2019 Sep 4.08 UT. The spectrum shows narrow Balmer emission lines (H & alpha;, H & beta;, H & gamma;, H & delta;), along with numerous Fe II emission lines, including those of the 37, 38, 42, 48 and 49 multiplets.
