Abstract (from CDS):

T. R. Geballe, Gemini Observatory; and B. Smalley, A. Evans, and M. T. Rushton, Keele University, report on spectra obtained at the U.K. Infrared Telescope (+ CGS4) on Oct. 29.125 UT, at resolutions of 0.0015 and 0.0030 micron over ranges 0.80-1.34 and 1.45-2.52 microns, respectively: "Extraordinary changes have occurred since our last reported measurements (IAUC 7796). The spectrum is now that of an extremely cool supergiant, with very deep water bands (reminiscent of those seen in T-type brown dwarfs) and remarkably strong CO first-overtone bands. There are additional strong molecular bands present at 0.85, 0.89, 0.97, 1.05, 1.23, 1.25, 1.65, and 1.69 microns. Further observations are urged."
