We report the spectroscopic observation of TCP J06073081-0101501
discovered by the Brazilian Transient Search (BraTS) on 2020-01-28.1039 (UT).
We obtained a low-resolution spectrum of this object on 2020-01-28.639 (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 of Kyoto University.
The spectrum shows a blue continuum with an H-alpha emission line. H-beta and H-gamma are seen as absorption lines. A weak He II (4686) emission line can also be seen in the spectrum.
These features suggest that the object is a dwarf nova in outburst.
