Is that a P Cyg profile in the H_alpha line in the Tessier spectrum but not from the prism?
Hi Jeremy,
I think it is probably an artefact from the spline fit I used to reduce the resolution down to match Mike’s resolution. There was a P Cygni profile at ~1500km/s in early spectra 25/26 Aug but it was soon engulfed by the emission. Here is H alpha in Francois’ spectra at full resolution. You can see the P Cygni profile in the earliest spectrum (and in my low resolution spectrum from 25th) but not after (The narrow lines are telluric water lines)
Cheers
Robin
