Portion of the latest Echelle spectra of Nova Cas 2021 from ANS Collaboration Varese 0.84m telescope highlighting the emergence of HeII and Bowen blend, disappearance of P-Cyg absorptions, and restructuring of Hbeta profile.

Fig.2

ANS Collaboration BVRI light- and color-curves of Nova Cas 2021. Different colors/symbols distinguish data collected with different telescopes. The epochs for the Echelle spectra presented in the picture above are marked by arrows in the B-band panel. The arrow in the V-band panel points to the epoch when Nova Cas 2021 was for the first time seen by the Fermi-LAT satellite to emit in gamma-rays (Buson and Cheung 2021, ATel #14568).
