22310 2025-10-27 21:32:51 EMMANUEL SOUBROUILLARD Emmanuel Soubrouillard None Nova 0 1 2025-10-27 The spectrum shows strong Balmer and Fe II emission lines, including H α (λ6563 Å), H β (λ4861 Å), and Fe II multiplets at 4924, 5018, 5169, 5316 Å. No significant redshift is measured (z ≈ 0), confirming a probable M31 origin. The overall spectrum and line velocities are consistent with a classical nova of the Fe II subtype, observed near maximum or during early decline. 2025TNSCR4338....1S
