Scientific paper

The slow symbiotic nova RR Telescopii has been observed with the 3.9-m telescope of the Anglo-Australian Observatory (AAO), using the University College London Echelle Spectrograph (UCLES) in conjunction with a Tek CCD. The optical spectrum of RR Tel is very rich in emission. By comparing the results of this study with previous publications on the subject, it is found that the RR Tel system is advancing towards higher degrees of excitation. It is also shown that several nebular lines (for example, [OIII] 4363 Angstroms and NeIV 4714 Angstroms) demonstrate component structure, perhaps caused by the different densities of the emitting plasmas.
