Scientific paper

The Palomar Transient Factory (Law et al. 2009, Rau et al. 2009) discovered a nova candidate in M31, PTF11fzx, on UT 2011 June 18.50 at RA(J2000)=00:36:15.3, Dec(J2000)=+38:51:31.7. PTF11fzx was R=19.0mag when discovered and fainter than a limiting magnitude of R=20.5 on June 12. The above magnitudes are calibrated to the USNO-B1 catalogue.
Spectra of PTF11fzx were obtained with the Double Beam Spectrograph on the Palomar 200-inch Hale telescope on June 24 and with the Low Resolution Image Spectrometer on the Keck-I telescope on July 2.
