Scientific paper

We present here some preliminary results and considerations regarding high resolution spectroscopy of Nova Centauri 1986. This object was discovered on November 22.7 UT as a 5.6 V magnitude star (1), and observed by us in Ha two months later, when it was of about 10 magnitude. A considerable change in the Ha line profile, basically consisting in the disappearance of the original f1attop profile substituted by a more regular multicomponent profile, is clearly visible in our set of spectra, obtained monitoring the nova for nearly a week. A fitting of the line profile by means of three gaussian components shows a narrowing of the components and a rapid fading of one of them as a function of time. This behaviour can be interpreted in terms of blobs which have been formed in a non-spherical explosion and that were evaporating at the time of the observations.
