SALT spectroscopic classification of TCP J16272388-4601564 as a Galactic classical nova
Abstract
We report on high-resolution optical spectroscopy of the optical transient TCP J16272388-4601564, which was discovered by the Brazilian Transient Search - BraTS - at SONEAR 2 Observatory, Belo Horizonte, Brazil, at an unfiltered magnitude 14.9 mag on 2023-06-27.09 UT. Pre-discovery observations by the All-Sky Automated Survey for SNe (ASAS-SN, Shappee et al. 2014, ApJ, 788, 48) shows that the source has been rising in brightness since 2023-06-25.09.
