THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE STAR SPH-2 AS A NEW WN4 STAR WITH STRONG CIV

We report spectroscopic observations of a new Wolf-Rayet star not iden tified yet. This star is located in our Galaxy, in the Canis Majoris r egion and was discovered during a southern spectroscopic survey of sta rs previously identified as H alpha emission objects. The star, SPH 2, after Schwartz, Persson & Hamann (SPH) (1990), shows the main charact eristics of a WN star and a strong CIV 5808 typical of a WC star. Here , we present some of the main spectroscopic features and discuss a pos sible subtype classification. We also present line intensities and equ ivalent widths of the identified transitions.
