D. K. Lynch, R. W. Russell, R. J. Rudy, and R. Pearson, Aerospace Corporation; and C. E. Woodward, University of Minnesota, report 0.8- to 2.5-micron spectroscopy of V5558 Sgr (cf. IAUC 8832, 8854) using the Infrared Telescope Facility (+ SpeX) on Sept. 12 UT. The nova shows a rich spectrum with many strong, narrow emission lines (FWHM 620 km/s) of H I, He I, O I, Ca II, Fe II, and [N I]. All of the H I lines show P-Cyg profiles, and there is a pronounced Paschen jump. In addition to the P-Cyg profiles on the He I 1.0830- and 2.0581-micron lines, some of the other He I and Fe II lines show P-Cyg profiles, indicating significant optical depths in these lines. There is no evidence of dust formation.
