Spectroscopic confirmation of AT2020aafw as a Nova in M31
Abstract
We have obtained spectra of AT2020aafw, a candidate Nova in M31 discovered independently by Hornoch et al. (ATel 14183) and Conjat (TNS report 89872) on Nov. 16 and 17. Observations were made during a test run on Nov. 23.88 UT, with the new, low-dispersion spectro-imager Mistral, attached to the Cassegrain focus of the OHP 1.93m telescope.
