F. Walter, Stony Brook University; and J. Seron, Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory (CTIO), confirm that PNV J16364300-4132460 is a galactic nova. A spectrum obtained on Sept. 8.091 UT with the SMARTS/CTIO 1.5-m reflector (+ RC spectrograph; range 565-695 nm; resolution 0.31 nm) shows broad H-alpha emission with a triple-peaked spectrum reminiscent of early recurrent-novae spectra; the FWHM of the line is about 3000 km/s, and the equivalent width is about 19.0 nm. The nova is young; the continuum shows a number of broad absorption lines, as well as narrow interstellar Na D absorption (EW about 0.36 nm). No emission is evident aside from H-alpha.
