Abstract:
Near-infrared spectra of Fe-II type nova, Nova Sagittarii 1998 obtained during the period 30 to 70 days after the discovery date are presented. The near infrared spectrum is dominated by emission lines of hydrogen and accompanied by lines of CI, OI and NI. The 1.129 ?m OI line excited by Lyman fluroscence is prominently seen in our first spectrum obtained in April 1998. In addition the OI line at 1.316 ?m is also detected indicating the presence of UV continuum fluroscence.
