Event: Nova in Sagittarius (V5584 Sgr = N Sgr 2009 No. 4)
Discovered By: Koichi Nishiyama, Kurume, Fukuoka-ken, Japan, and F. Kabashima, Miyaki-cho, Saga-ken, Japan
Discovery Date: Oct. 26.439 UT (two frames from Oct. 26.439 and 26.440)
Discovery Magnitude: unfiltered CCD magnitude 9.3, using a 105-mm f/4 camera lens
Position: R.A. 18:31:32.79, Decl. -16:19:07.5 (equinox 2000.0)

Notes:
a. The discoverers report nothing was visible on survey frames taken Oct. 20.449 UT (to magnitude 13.9) and 21.451 (to magnitude 13.4).
b. Following posting on the Central Bureau's unconfirmed-objects webpage, other observers reported CCD magnitudes and astrometry - Oct. 26.764, mag 9.3, position end figures 32.79s, 07.8" (P. Corelli, Pagnacco, Italy, 0.45-m reflector); Oct. 27.09, about 9.0, 32.81s, 07.5" (E. Guido and G. Sostero, remotely with a 0.25-m reflector at the GRAS Observatory near Mayhill, NM). Corelli adds that nothing was visible on a Palomar plate down to magnitude 21.0.
c. N Sgr 2009 No. 4 has been assigned the name V5584 Sgr by the GCVS team, according to N. Samus and E. V. Kazarovets.
d. N Sgr 2009 No. 4 was originally announced in CBET 1994 (Daniel W. E. Green, Ed.) and AAVSO Special Notice #173 (E. Waagen). Additional non-AAVSO information in this Alert Notice was announced in IAU CBET No. 1995 and IAU Circular 9089 (Daniel W. E. Green, Ed.).
Congratulations to Koichi Nishiyama and F. Kabashima on their discovery!
