R. J. Rudy, D. K. Lynch, R. W. Russell, and A. M. Gilbert, The Aerospace Corporation; and C. E. Woodward, University of Minnesota, report 0.8- to 5.5-micron spectroscopy of V2671 Oph on June 14 UT, obtained as above. V2671 Oph (Nova Oph 2008 No. 2; cf. IAUC 8951) is an "Fe II"-type nova with comparatively narrow lines of FWHM = 1200 km/s. It is at a very low stage of excitation, showing exceptionally bright lines of neutral carbon and strong emissison from the Ca II infrared triplet. The O I lines are also strong and indicate a large interstellar reddening of E(B-V) = 2.0. Weak, first-overtone emission from carbon monoxide beginning at 2.29 microns is present. No emission from dust is yet evident in the spectrum, but the presence of molecular gas suggests that its formation is imminent.
