Nova in Sagittarius (V5585 Sgr = N Sgr 2010)

January 31, 2010

Event: Nova in Sagittarius (V5585 Sgr = N Sgr 2010)

 

Discovered By: John Seach, Chatsworth Island, NSW, Australia

 

Discovery Date: Jan. 20.72 UT

 

Discovery Magnitude: approximately 8.5, using a DSLR with 50-mm f/1.4 lens and

orange filter

 

Position: RA: 18:07:26.95 , Dec: -29:00:43.6 (equinox 2000.0)

from K. Nishiyama, Kurume, Fukuoka-ken, Japan, and F. Kabashima, Miyaki-cho,

Saga-ken, Japan, from their image taken 2010 January 23.892

 

Spectra: H. Maehara, Kwasan Observatory, Kyoto University, reports that a

low-resolution spectrogram (range 400-800 nm) obtained on Jan. 23.887 with

the 25-cm telescope of the Kwasan Observatory suggests that this object is a

Fe II class nova.

is preferred.

 

Notes:

a. Previously announced in IAU CBET 2140 (Daniel W. E. Green, Editor) and AAVSO

Special Notice #190 (Matthew Templeton); additional information from CBET 2142

(Green) and IAU Circular 9112 (Green). Except for observations reported directly

to the AAVSO, the information in this Alert Notice is taken from the IAU CBETs

and IAU Circular 9112 (Daniel W. E. Green, ed.).

 

b. Nothing was visible down to magnitude 11.5 at this location in an image

taken by Seach on 2009 November 15.89 UT. The nova was confirmed by several

observers: W. Vollmann, Vienna, Austria, January 22.287 UT, CV=9.3 (image by H.

Koberger, Vilaflor, Tenerife); S. Kiyota, Tsukuba, Japan, January 22.862,

V=8.98, (V-Rc)=+0.60, (V-Ic)=1.20; K. Nishiyama, Kurume, Fukuoka-ken, Japan,

and F. Kabashima, Miyaki-cho, Saga-ken, Japan, January 23.892, CV=8.5.

 

c. E. Kazarovets and N. N. Samus report that the GCVS team has assigned the name

V5585 Sgr to N Sgr 2010.

 

d. Because of the crowded field, caution is urged as the nova fades.

 

Congratulations to John Seach on his discovery!

 

Good observing,
