V2467 CYGNI
D. K. Lynch, R. W. Russell, and R. J. Rudy, The Aerospace
Corporation; and C. E. Woodward, University of Minnesota, report on IAUC 
8955, 0.8- to 5.5-micron spectroscopy of V2467 Cyg on 2008 June 15 UT 
using SpeX on the Infrared Telescope Facility.  The nova has persisted 
in a very high state of excitation, and its spectrum is dominated by 
coronal lines.  The [Mg VIII] line at 3.03 microns is the brightest 
feature in the infrared spectrum, and lines from four separate 
ionization states of silicon are present ([Si VI], [Si VII], [Si IX], 
[Si X]). The thermal infrared continuum remains
free of dust emission.

S. Blondin, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), reports 
that a spectrum of June 12.47 UT by M. Calkins with the
F. L. Whipple Observatory 1.5-m telescope (+ FAST), shows it to be a 
type-Ia supernova around maximum light.
