The Asiago Transient Classification Program (Tomasella et al. 2014, AN, 335, 841) reports the spectroscopic observation of ASASSN-18aas (a.k.a. ATLAS18zre, AT2018jhd) discovered during the ongoing All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN, Shappee et al. 2014).

The observations were performed with the Asiago 1.82 m Copernico Telescope equipped with AFOSC (range 340-820 nm; resolution 1.4 nm).

(1) the Afosc spectrum shows broad Balmer absorptions with a continuum that rises very strongly to the shortward. There are very weak emission cores in the absorptions. The object is possibly a CV.
