Andreoli.V ; Castellani.F ; Vesentini.F report/s a classification of object: AT 2023cub

Type: Other

Remarks: Low resolution spectrum (5 X 600s) was obtained by 0.25-m telescope + Alpy600 spectrograph (with dispersion 4.9 Ang/pix) located in Novezzina (Italy) on 2023-03-09.792. The spectrum shows red continuum and absorption of H-alpha (6562.825 Ang), H-Beta (4861.03 Ang), D1,D2 Na doublet (5885;5890 Ang) and Ca I (4302 Ang) ; also the coordinates are coincident to V*520Mon (MAXI J0655-013) and at these coordinates an hard X-ray was detected (Serino et al. ATel #15442). We propose the identification of the transient as a brightness of the X-ray variable
