We report the spectroscopic observation of ASASSN-19ado (= AT 2019xim) discovered by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN; Shappee et al. 2014 and Kochanek et al. 2017) at g'=13.9 mag on 2019-12-22.200 UT.
We obtained a a low-resolution spectrum (range 4000-8500 Å) of this object on 2019-12-24.53 UT by using the fiber-fed integral field spectrograph (KOOLS-IFU; Matsubayashi et al. 2019) mounted on the 3.8-m Seimei telescope at Okayama Observatory, Kyoto University. The spectrum shows a blue continuum with Balmer, He I, He II (4686 Å), and C III/N III emission lines. H-beta and H-gamma emission lines are superposed on the broad absorption lines. These features suggest that the object is a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova in outburst.
