2004IAUC.8370....2R

Further to IAUC 8368, R. J. Rudy, D. K. Lynch, S. Mazuk, C. C. Venturini, R. C. Puetter, and R. B. Perry report 0.4-2.5-micron NIRIS spectroscopy of V5113 Sgr on June 24.06 UT, approximately 9 months after outburst (cf. IAUC 8204, 8206). This Fe II-type nova has reached moderately high excitation, displaying strong He II lines as well as the coronal lines [S VIII] 0.9911-micron and [Si VI] 1.9641-microns. The unidentified novae lines at 1.1114, 1.1900, 1.5545, and 2.0996 microns were also present. The nebular [O III] lines were very strong, as was the [S III] feature at 0.9532 micron. The continuum shows a sharp rise beyond 2 microns, indicative of hot dust.
