NOVA SAGITTARII 1994
     M. Della Valle, Padua; P. Molaro, Osservatorio Astronomico di
Trieste; J. Casares, Astrophysics Department, Oxford University;
and E. Martin, Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias, Tenerife,
report: "Spectrograms (range 380-860 nm, resolution about 3 nm)
obtained on Mar. 7.2 UT with the New Technology Telescope (+ EMMI) at
La Silla suggest this object to be a nova caught during its early
decline.  The spectrum shows H-alpha and Na I in emission, flanked
by blueshifted P-Cyg profiles, superimposed onto a strong continuum.
The mean expansion velocity derived from the minimum of the P-
Cyg absorptions is about 2200 km/s."


A0535+26
     R. B. Wilson, B. A. Harmon, and G. J. Fishman, Marshall Space
Flight Center, NASA; and M. H. Finger, Universities Space Research
Association, report for the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory BATSE
team:  "The strong outburst from A0535+26 (IAUC 5931, 5933, 5934)
peaked on Feb. 18, reaching a total intensity of about 8 Crab in
the band 20-40 keV.  The phase-averaged pulsed flux then was 1.8
Crab (total).  The intensity has declined approximately linearly
since then, reaching about 4 Crab (total) and 1.1 Crab (pulsed) on
Feb. 26.  During the peak of its outburst the pulse frequency was
increasing at a rate of about 1.2 x 10E-11 sE-2 or P/P(dot) about
25 yr."
