U. Munari and A. Siviero, Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica, Padova Astronomical Observatory; and L. Buzzi and P. Valisa, Asiago Novae and Symbiotic Stars (ANS) collaboration, report that low- resolution, absolute spectrophotometry (range 390-860 nm, dispersion 0.21 nm/pixel) of the nova were obtained on Nov. 9.779 UT with the 0.6-m telescope of the Schiaparelli Observatory in Varese. The spectrum is dominated by emission lines due to Balmer, Fe II (multiplets 27, 28, 37, 38, 42, 48, 49, 55, and 74), and O I 777.2- and 844.6-nm, all displaying deep P-Cyg profiles, with the absorption component blue-shifted by 700 km/s from the emission component. The mean FWHM of the emission and absorption of the P-Cyg profiles are 950 and 850 km/s, respectively. The H_alpha: H_beta:Hgamma:H_delta integrated emission-flux ratio is 3.68:1.00: 0.23:0.16, and that of O I (777.2 nm)/(844.6 nm) is 0.91. The overall aspect is that of a typical nova of the Fe II class, observed close to maximum brightness.
