H. Naito and M. Sakamoto, Nishi-Harima Astronomical Observatory, report that they obtained a low-resolution spectrogram (range 410-670 nm; resolution 2000 at H_alpha) of the nova on Mar. 16.792 UT with the 2.0-m NAYUTA telescope (+ MALLS). The spectrum shows a broad H_alpha line with a P-Cyg profile and Fe II absorption lines, which suggests that the variable is indeed a classical nova near maximum light. A narrow Na I D absorption feature suggests the existence of a considerable interstellar reddening. The FWHM of the H_alpha emission is 950 km/s, and its absorption minimum is blueshifted by 1150 km/s from the emission peak (measured by a Gaussian fitting).
