Abstract

Infrared photometry and spectrophotometry of Nova Cygni 1992 taken within 54 days of its eruption show a strong 12.8 μm [Ne II] forbidden emission line as well as hydrogen recombination lines. Spectra with λ/Δλ ≈ 2000 resolve the [Ne II] and 12.37 μm Huα lines with ∼2200 km s^-1 (FWHM). The [Ne II] line shows multiple velocity components. The amount of [Ne II] required to produce the observed emission feature exceeds the solar abundance of neon by at least a factor of 4.
