Descripción
Recently, the discoveries of several nova candidates in M31 have been reported (ATEL #3735, #3976, and #3987), but there have been no spectroscopic confirmations. To classify these objects, we obtained narrow-band H-alpha, Sloan r', and Sloan i'-band CCD images of the central region of M31 using the 2.5-m Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) + WFC at La Palma under ~1.2" seeing on May 22.198 - 22.216 UT.
