D. K. Lynch, R. J. Rudy, C. C. Venturini, and S. Mazuk, Aerospace Corporation; R. C. Puetter, University of California at San Diego; R. B. Perry, Langley Research Center, NASA; and B. Walp, Lick Observatory, report 1.0- to 2.5-micron spectroscopy of V445 Pup (cf. IAUC 7559, 7580) with the Lick 3.0-m telescope (+ VNIRIS) at Nov. 16.535 UT. The object has faded and the thermal dust emission (Lynch et al. 2004, A.J. 128, 2962) has virtually disappeared. No visible counterpart has appeared, so it is likely that the dust has cooled significantly. Structured He I emission at 1.0830 microns remains strong.
