Aims.We present optical and near-infrared spectral evolution of the
Galactic nova <ASTROBJ>V5114 Sgr</ASTROBJ> (2004) during few months
after the outburst.<BR /> Methods: .We use multi-band photometry and
line intensities derived from spectroscopy to put constrains on the
distance and the physical conditions of the ejecta of V5114 Sgr.<BR />
Results: .The nova showed a fast decline (t<SUB>2</SUB> ≃ 11 days)
and spectral features of Fe II spectroscopic class. It reached
M<SUB>V</SUB> = -8.7 ± 0.2 mag at maximum light, from which we
derive a…
Data files of FEROS observations are given with four digits (referring
to month and day of observation) and an "f" indicating that that is a FEROS observation.
Data files of observations carried out at Cerro Tololo are named with
four digits (referring to month and day of observation) and a "t"
indicating that these are CTIO observations.
Observations carried out with the NIRIS instrument are given in three
dat files. Although they were carried out on a single night, for
uniformity with the rest of the files, these data files are named with
four digits (referring to…
We report preliminary results of an observing run at the 1—m telescope
at CTIO during which we followed RR Pic over several nights in February
2005. The resulting light curves show no sign of an eclipse. Apart from
the 3.48 h period, which is usually interpreted as the orbital one, we
find an additional period at P=3.78 h, which we interpret as the
superhump period of the system. We furthermore present high resolution
Doppler maps in Hα, Hβ and He II, which we derived from
observations at the NTT, La Silla in February 2004. They show strong
variations in the emission distribution from one…
