Woodward, University of Minnesota; and R. B. Perry, Langley Research Center, NASA, report 0.4- to 2.5-micron spectroscopy of this nova (cf. IAUC 8803, 8807, 8809, 8812) using the Lick 3-m telescope (+ VNIRIS) on May 6 UT, as well as 0.8- to 5.5-micron spectroscopy using the Infrared Telescope Facility 3-m telescope (+ SpeX) on May 31. This nova is still in a very low excitation state, showing strong C I lines and no discernable He I emission. The spectrum shows a significantly narrower [N I] line at 1.04 microns than the permitted emission lines. The reddening derived from the O I lines, which is due in part to the dust shell, is E(B-V) = 1.7.
