HET Spectra of Extragalactic Novae

Some recent HET extragalactic nova spectra (Nova M32 2006 #1, Nova M33 2006 #1, Nova M31 2006 #9, Nova M31 2006 #11, Nova M31 2006 #12 [two epochs], Nova M31 2006 #14, Nova M31 2006 #16, Nova M31 2006 #18, Nova M31 2007 02a, Nova M31 2007 02b, M31Nova2007 #20, M33Nova2007 #01, Nova M31 2007 10a, Nova M31 2007-11b, Nova M31 2007-11c, M31 2007-11d, M21 2007-11e, M31N 2007-12b, M31N 2007-12b, M31N 2007-12d) obtained by Shafter and collaborators are shown below:

Most of these novae are of the "Fe II" type in the classification system of Williams (1992). The only clear exceptions are M31 Nova 2006 #12, M33 Nova 2007 #01, M31N 2007-12b, and M31N 2007-12d, which are of the He/N type. Note the broad emission lines indicating a higher expansion velocities in these novae. (Nova M31 2007 10a and Nova M31 2007-11b are peculiar in that they have very narrow emission, but show He I lines.)
