K. Ayani and N. Murakami, Bisei Astronomical Observatory (BAO), write that low-resolution spectra (range 400-800 nm; resolution 0.5 nm at H_alpha) of the apparent nova announced on IAUC 8947, obtained with the BAO 1.01-m telescope on May 26.7 UT, confirms that the object is a nova. They show H_alpha emission (FWHM about 600 km/s) with a P-Cyg profile, its absorption minimum being blue- shifted by 730 km/s with respect to the emission peak. H_beta and Fe II (multiplet 42) lines also have P-Cyg profiles, although the absorption component dominates on lines of shorter wavelength.
