We report the following classifications of AT2019jzj from spectroscopic observations with the Kast double spectrograph on the Shane 3-m telescope at Mt. Hamilton, California. The target was supplied by ATLAS. Observations were made on 2019 July 10 UT. The classification was performed with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024).
Name | IAU Name | RA (J2000) | Dec (J2000) | z | Type | Notes
ATLAS19ocz | AT2019jzj | 00:45:53.853 | +42:17:03.02 | -0.001 | Fe II nova | (1)
Notes:
When the redshift is given to 2 decimal places, it is derived from the SN spectrum. Otherwise, the redshift is determined from the host galaxy.
(1) The target is located approximately 70 arcmin from the center of M31. The spectrum is dominated by prominent Balmer emission at the approximate redshift of M31 with FWHM of 1500 km/s. We also note weak bands of Fe II emission at 4900, 5200, and 6200 angstroms. Based on the lack of P Cygni absorption and the relative strength of Fe II emission, we conclude this is a Fe II nova >10 days after maximum light.
