Scientific paper

Spectroscopy of T Pyx was obtained on SALT with the Robert Stobie Spectrograph (RSS) on UT 2011 April 15 21:22 - 21:36, 1.6 days after its reported outburst and during the current RSS re-commissioning phase, which began on 9 April. The spectra were taken with a 0.6 arcsec wide slit in two regions, 535 - 630 nm (R = 8500; 3 x 30 s exposures) and 620-700 nm (R = 11200, 6 x 30 s exposures). They are dominated by strong, broad emission lines of H-alpha, HeI and NII, some showing P Cyg profiles with radial velocities of the absorption component extending to -2400 km/s.
