Novae, Stars: Individual: Nova Aquilae 1993
Scientific paper
We report near infrared spectroscopy of Nova Aquilae 1993 approximately 18 and 108 days after maximum light. The early spectrum is a low excitation one in which only permitted lines are seen. Many of the N I lines observed can be formed only by recombination. This fact, coupled with their prominence, indicates nitrogen is enriched, supporting the models which posit enhanced CNO abundances in fast nova. The strongest line in the later spectrum is He I 10830. Many of the lines in the earlier spectrum are still present in the later spectrum but are dramatically weaker relative to the continuum. The unusual light curve of the nova is discussed, as are the possible CNO abundances.
