Abstract
NOVA PERSEI.—Bulletin No. 16 of the Yerkes Observatory contains a report from Prof. Hale on the work done in connection with the new star in Perseus. An examination of the Nova with the 40-inch refractor on February 24 failed to show any trace of nebulosity. Photographs of the spectrum were obtained on eight nights, using Erythro plates, with spectrographs of one and three prisms respectively. These extend from Ha in the red to the ultra-violet Hi; comparison spectra were taken of titanium, hydrogen and sodium. Photographs of the region of the Nova have been obtained with the 40-inch telescope, and will be subsequently measured at Columbia College Observatory. The brightness of the star has been measured by the wedge photometer.
