Kenta Taguchi (Kyoto University), Kohki Uno (Kyoto University), Masaki Tsurumi (Kyoto University) report/s a classification of object: AT 2023ufj

Type: Nova
Redshift: -0.00137

Remarks: Our spectrum shows prominent P Cygni profiles of H alpha, H beta, and O I 7774. Therefore we propose this object is a nova in M31. Absorption features of Na I D and possible DIBs are seen. Redshift is determined by the peak of H alpha.

The following Classification spectrum was provided:
