D. K. Lynch, R. W. Russell, and R. J. Rudy, The Aerospace Corporation; and C. E. Woodward, University of Minnesota, report 0.8- to 5.5-micron spectroscopy of V5117 Sgr (cf. IAUC 8673) on May 1 UT using SpeX at the Infrared Telescope Facility. The nova is a classical Fe II nova that is still in the low-excitation stage. It showed strong emission of the Brackett and Pashen lines, the Lyman_beta-fluoresced O I lines, C I and N I, Fe II emission, and weak He I 1.0830- and 2.0581-micron lines. There was also a strong continuum increasing to longer wavelengths, indicative of thermal emission from dust. The thermal continuum was well fitted by an 1100-K black body. E(B-V) = 0.50 ± 0.15 was obtained from the O I lines. Infrared magnitudes (± 0.1): J = 10.6, H = 9.5, K = 7.9.
